Subscribe button is missing from a calendar

What you are seeing

The Subscribe button is missing from a calendar.


#Why it happens

It is hidden for signed-out readers, for calendars that are not saved calendars, and when an admin has turned the site-wide "Calendar subscriptions" feature off.


#What to do

Sign in, confirm you are on a saved calendar rather than a page-derived one, and ask an administrator to check Confluence settings → Capable → Features.

A close up of a calendar toolbar showing a highlighted share button with the tooltip Subscribe to calendar, next to an overflow button and a settings button.
When it is available, the control is the share button in the calendar toolbar, to the left of the overflow and settings buttons.
