Editing, moving or deleting an event

To move it: drag it in the grid. To make it longer or shorter, pull the bottom edge. No need to open it.

To change anything else: a click on the event opens the same small window as when creating, next to the event. Click the row to change (date and time, guests, location…), correct it and at the bottom right «Save». If you prefer to see everything together, «More options» opens the «Edit event» window.

To delete it: in the small window, at the bottom left, the red «Delete» button. It asks for confirmation on the spot — the button turns into «Confirm» and has to be clicked a second time. ⚠️ There is no recycle bin to recover it from.

If there are guests

An event with attendees is not deleted silently: instead of «Delete» you find «Cancel event». Whoever was invited gets the notice that it is off. If instead you change time or location, whoever accepted receives the update — you do not have to write to them.

If you did not organise the event

On an event you were invited to, at the bottom left you do not find «Delete» but «I’m not attending»: you leave, the event stays for the others.

⚠️ On someone else’s event you can change something only if whoever created it allowed it — under «Guest permissions» in the big window. If the fields are locked, it is not a fault: it is the organiser’s choice. The same goes for events on a calendar shared with you read-only: it opens as «Event details», with no buttons.

Watch out for repeating events

If the event is part of a series, after «Save» or «Delete» the question «To which occurrences should the change apply?» opens. See the page on repeating events: it is the question people get wrong most often.
