# 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.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/0df30f2c-6523-4ad6-981b-a106ec7f5c13.webp)

Saved calendars are grouped by the container they live in, space or global, and sit alongside the built-in ones the app provides.
