Calendar Groups

Calendar groups keep related calendars together in the list on the left - for example Family or Work. A group only tidies your list. It does not share anything with anyone.

To share calendars with other people, use people groups instead: they manage members and access.

What A Group Does​

  • gathers several calendars under one name
  • has a checkbox that switches all of its calendars on or off together - it shows a dash when only some of them are on
  • folds away, and remembers that the next time you open the calendar
  • lists each calendar once: inside its group, or on its own

Calendars other people have shared with you appear under Shared with me until you put them in a group of your own.

Create A Group​

  1. Open Calendar.
  2. Click the three dots (⋯) next to My Calendars and choose New group.
  3. Type a name and click Create.

To make a group and put a calendar in it in one step, open that calendar's ⋯ menu and choose Move to group → New group…. You can also create a group while creating or editing a calendar, with + New Group.

Move Calendars In Or Out​

Open a calendar's ⋯ menu. Under Move to group the group it is in now is ticked:

  • choose another group to move it there
  • choose No group to take it out of its group

Taking a calendar out of a group only removes the link. The calendar stays, with all its events. Moving works with the keyboard and on touch screens - there is no drag-and-drop to learn.

Rename, Reorder, And Delete​

Open the group's ⋯ menu:

  • Show only this group switches every other calendar off
  • Rename group
  • Move up / Move down changes where the group sits in the list. The order is saved in this browser only
  • Delete group removes the group only. Its calendars become ungrouped

Order Within A List​

Calendars are listed by priority, then by name. Open a calendar's ⋯ menu and choose Move up or Move down to change its place among the calendars next to it.

Ownership Rules​

  • Owned calendars can be assigned or unassigned.
  • Shared calendars can be visible in your list, but group-management writes still follow ownership rules.
  • Deleting a group does not delete calendars or events.
