To move an event on a Confluence calendar, drag it to another day or time; drag its edge in Week or Day view to change how long it runs. To change anything else, open the event, select Edit and then Save Changes. To remove it, open it, choose Delete and confirm.

#Before you start

  • You need edit rights on the calendar. On a page, the Calendar macro also needs Event editing turned on.

  • These steps are for events saved in a calendar. Dates written on a page are changed by editing that page.

#Steps

  1. Drag the event to its new day, or to a new time in Week or Day view.

  2. In Week or Day view, drag the bottom edge of the event.

  3. Click the event to open it, select Edit, change what you need and select Save Changes.

  4. Open the event, select Delete, and confirm in the Delete Event dialog. This cannot be undone.

#What happens next

Everyone sees the change on the calendar and on every page that shows it. Subscribed calendar apps usually pick it up within 5 to 15 minutes.

#If it does not work

  • The event will not drag. You do not have edit rights on the calendar, or the event comes from a page date. Open the page and change the date there.

  • There is no Edit button. The event is in a built-in calendar, or you can only view this calendar. See Cannot create or edit events in a shared calendar.

Plans change. The calendar keeps up.
