# Switch a Confluence calendar between month, week and agenda view

To switch a Confluence calendar between views, open the **Display & export options** menu (the three dots) and pick **Day**, **Week**, **Month**, **Year** or **Agenda**. To set the view a page calendar opens in, edit the Calendar macro and choose a **View** on the **Content** tab.

## Before you start

* On the Calendar page anyone can change the view. Inside a Calendar macro on a page, readers cannot; they open the calendar full size first. Only page editors change the view a macro opens in.
* Agenda is the list view: a week of events in date order. There is no separate timeline view.

## Change the view while reading

1. On the Calendar page, select **Display & export options** (the three dots) at the top right. On a page, first select the maximise button at the top right of the calendar, then the view button at the top left.
2. Choose **Day**, **Week**, **Month**, **Year** or **Agenda**.
3. Use the arrows either side of the title, or click the title to jump to a month or year. **Go to today** brings you back.

## Set the view a page calendar opens in

1. Edit the page and open the settings of the **Calendar (Capable)** macro.
2. On the **Content** tab, under **Display**, choose a **View**.
3. Set **Start on** to **Last event**, **Today** or **Custom**, then publish the page.

## A few things that catch people out

* A saved calendar has its own default **Calendar View**, plus **Hide weekends**, **Week start day** and **Show week numbers**, in its settings.
* In Month and Year view, a busy day shows **+N more**. Turn on **Always show all events** in the macro to list every event instead.
