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!

upgrade

Only a few months ago we launched our new Outlook Calendars for Confluence Cloud version. A unfortunatelyUnfortunately, we couldn’t provide the same level of features in the new version as in the old one until then.

Although the new Outlook Calendars for Confluence Cloud version provided provides many more benefits, it was still not advantageous helpful for many some of our customers, to switch due to the lack of features they were regularly using in the daily workflows. We prioritized this development and mainly use the new calendar version (just because some features were still missing …).

This is why we prioritized the development of these features and are happy to announce that there is finally an equality of features across the old and new Outlook Calendars for Confluence Cloud versioninform you that with the latest release we can now provide for the same features in the new version, as well!

Tip

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

  • 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)
