The new version of Outlook Calendars for Confluence comes with a new UI and new features.
...
The new UI now enables you to easily navigate through our product, quickly take action and insert the right calendar with most suitable default settings. We want to avoid situations of inserting and deleting calendars again and again, because a calendar template is simply not clear for the user calendar templates have been misunderstood in the first place. Discover our features.
We further enhanced our existing features and developed new ones, too. Unfortunately, not all of the former features are available in the new version just yet - but they’re on our roadmap. Check out our page here out to learn more about the current status.
...
While working our UI, we also decided to adapt our view naming to make it easier for our customers, to decide on the right calendar view. Here is a table to let you know what changed:
Then | Now |
|---|---|
Agenda view | Calendar view |
Scheduler view | Timeline view |
List view | List view |
Resource view | available in: calendar view |
...
Insert a current user’s Outlook calendar
...
Insert a current user’s Jira dates
...
[+ Screen JQL Filter]
So far, you can also insert all relevant Jira dates of any team member via our edit screen. This might be especially helpful for those Jira power users who are in charge to keep an eye on current milestones. Simply set the respective JQL filter “assignee = currentuser(duedate)” and any team member accessing the Confluence page will also see their own personal Jira dates (e.g. issues with upcoming due date) together with project-related dates already shared.
...
This setting simplifies working with calendars in Confluence as for now, you can provide data even for those users who “only” have an access to your Confluence page/space independently of their Office log-in.

Book resources in Confluence
...
Manage and adapt the calendar view in “General settings”. We recommend to now limit your view scope to today (if you want to book your meeting room at some point today) and turn the “split resource” screen on.
Here you go!
