Confluence homepage feed
Calendar adds a card to your Confluence homepage feed, titled "Calendar" and described as "See the latest updates from your calendar". It shows your events as a read-only agenda list, so upcoming dates are there when you open Confluence. Double-click an event to go to the page it comes from.
The card only appears for signed-in users.
#Worth knowing
Events are always coloured by page.
Participant avatars are not shown.
You can't edit, move or resize events from the card.
#Where you do it
Task | Where |
|---|---|
Show the dates already on a page as a calendar | Page editor → insert "Calendar (Capable)" (Suite) or "Calendar macro (Capable)" (standalone) |
Have Confluence's own dates picked up automatically | Anywhere on a page. A date in a paragraph, a table row, an action item or a decision item. |
Create a saved, shared calendar | Calendar page → catalogue → create a calendar (or "Create new calendar" from the macro's Source picker) |
#Settings that affect this
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Calendar subscriptions | Confluence settings → Capable (Capable Calendar in the standalone app) → Features | "Let users subscribe to Capable calendars from Google, Apple, or Outlook via a personal iCal feed. Turn off to disable subscriptions for all users." Only appears when the installed app includes the Calendar capability. |
Calendar (global settings tab) | Confluence settings → Capable → Calendar | A card titled "Calendar subscriptions", described as "Personal iCal feed links your users have generated for calendars." It lists the user, calendar, status and created date, with Previous and Next buttons to page through. Non-administrators see a message rather than the list. |
Hide the Calendar capability site-wide | Confluence settings → Capable → Capabilities | Removes Calendar across the whole site. Suite only. The standalone Capable Calendar app has no Capabilities tab. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
iCal feed window | 30 days back to 365 days forward | Events outside this rolling window never reach a subscriber's calendar app, even though they show up fine inside Confluence. |
