Live editor dates
While a page is open in the Confluence editor, a Calendar macro reads dates straight from what you are typing rather than the saved page, so new dates appear immediately. Those live events are shown non-editable.
#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) |
Point a page calendar at a shared, saved calendar | Calendar macro config → Content tab → Source |
Hide specific dates from the grid | Calendar macro config → Content tab → Hidden on-page events |
#Settings that affect this
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Calendar capability visibility | Space settings → Capable → capability list → Calendar | Auto shows the byline where relevant. In the Suite that means only on pages Capable has already indexed as carrying dates. Always forces Calendar on for the space; Never hides it there. This is the generic per-capability |
Native page dates | Calendar Configuration panel → Events | "Show events from date macros on pages". Confluence's own date chips scraped off the calendar's source pages. |
Pages from search | Calendar Configuration panel → Pages | "Search for pages to include". Every page the search returns is scanned for dates. Filters and limit are disabled until the toggle is on. |
