Saved calendars are Confluence content

A saved calendar is stored as Confluence custom content ("Capable Custom Content (Calendar)" and "Capable Shared Storage (Calendar)" in the standalone app; "(Suite)" in the Suite). It can live in a page, blog post or space container, is indexed, cannot share a title with another calendar in the same place, and inherits that location's Confluence permissions. So it can also be trashed like any other content.


#Where you do it

The Capable Calendar page with a left rail listing Space calendars, Global calendars and Built-in calendars, and a September month grid of colour coded events on the right.
Saved calendars are grouped by the container they live in, space or global, and sit alongside the built-in ones the app provides.
