The new version of Outlook Calendars for Confluence comes with a new UI and new features.

...

While working on on the new release, we also decided to adapt our naming for our calendar layouts. It is clearer now to decide on the right layout when sharing calendar dates with your team. Have a look on what changed:

Now

List view

List view

Calendar view

Agenda view

available in calendar view
(only for: work week & today)

Resource view

Timeline view

Scheduler view

...

Insert current user’s calendars: Outlook & Jira calendar

...

Manage and adapt the calendar view in “General settings”. We recommend to limit your view scope to today (if you want to book your meeting room at some point today) and turn on the “Split resource” view (side-by-side view).

Here you go!

(thumbs up) Feature equality (new and old calendar version)

Only a few months ago we launched our new Outlook Calendars for Confluence , though not all of our features made the cut just yet. Based on our own usage behavior, our user feedback and most of all, based on the fact to better focus on the above mentioned (more advanced) features, we needed to postpone some of our features for our next releases in Q2!

📢 For our existing Cloud customers:

  • You can still use the existing macro with our Outlook Calendars for Confluence cloud app

  • Soon, you’ll be able to additionally use the new cloud app version (new UI, new features)

  • An upgrade guide will soon be available for you!

It’s our highest priority to ship everyone to the new version safely and conveniently. We’re here for you and happy to give you a helping hand whenever needed.

Note

Please provide us with your feedback if anything else you’re currently relying on in our current calendar app version will eventually be missing for now: Contact us.

This is a brief overview about those features which are not yet available in the new cloud version. We’re almost there to provide an equality of features among the old and new version. See hereCloud version. Unfortunately, we couldn’t provide the same level of features in the new version compared to the old one. Sure, switching from the existing calendar version was not advantageous for many of our customers.

However, we prioritized this development and are happy to announce that there is an equality of features across the old and new Outlook Calendars for Confluence Cloud version.

Tip

Existing Cloud customers are migrated automatically. Learn more about the process.

...

📢 Please note:

  • Already embedded macro calendars won’t be effected by the change.

  • The old macro is renamed into “Outlook Calendar (legacy)” (only available during transition process)

  • We strongly recommend to start using the new calendar macro (first choice in drop down)
