# Create a shared team calendar in Confluence

To create a shared team calendar in Confluence, open **Capable Calendar**, choose **Create calendar** under **Space calendars**, name it and save. Your team adds events by clicking a date. Put the calendar on any page with the **Calendar (Capable)** macro and turn on **Event editing** so people can add events there too.

---

## Before you start

* You need permission to create content in the space. The calendar is stored as Confluence content there and follows that space's permissions.
* For a calendar everyone on the site can use, create it under **Global calendars** instead, if you have permission.

---

## Steps

1. Open **Capable Calendar** from the space sidebar or the **Apps** menu. In the suite, open Capable and choose Calendar.
2. In the sidebar, under **Space calendars**, choose **Create calendar**.
3. Enter the **Calendar Name** and, if you like, a **Description** and **Base Timezone**, then save it.
4. Click a date in the calendar to add an event. Event names need 4 to 100 characters.
5. On the team's page, insert **Calendar (Capable)**, set **Source** to the new calendar, and turn on **Event editing**.
6. Publish the page.

## What happens next

Everyone who can see the space sees the calendar, and everyone who can edit there can add and change events, from the Calendar page or the macro. Anyone can follow it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook with a personal subscription link.

## If it does not work

* **Create calendar is missing or greyed out.** You do not have permission to create content in this space, or its calendar storage is still being set up. Refresh after a moment.
* **Teammates cannot add events.** They need edit rights in the space, and the macro needs **Event editing** on.
