# Turn Capable Calendar on or off for a Confluence space

To turn Capable Calendar on or off for a Confluence space, open **Space settings**, then **Capable**, and find Calendar in the **Capabilities** list. Choose **Auto** to show it only where pages have dates, **Always** to show it on every page, or **Never** to hide it in that space. The change saves straight away.

---

## Before you start

* You need to be a space administrator. Others see **You must be a Space Admin to change these settings.**
* In the standalone app, the space settings entry is **Capable Calendar**.

---

## Steps

1. In the space, open **Space settings**, then **Capable**. **Space Capability Settings** opens.
2. In the **Capabilities** card, find Calendar.
3. Select **Auto** (show when relevant), **Always** (always show) or **Never** (never show). You see **Settings saved**.

---

## What happens next

The setting decides whether the Calendar byline item appears on pages in the space. With **Auto**, it appears only on pages where Capable has found dates. With **Never**, Calendar is hidden in that space. Calendar macros already on pages keep working.

## A few things that catch people out

* There is no Calendar tab in space settings. This list is the only space-level control.
* To turn calendar subscriptions off for the whole site, see [Manage calendar subscriptions for your Confluence site](https://help.gocapable.com/calendar/manage-calendar-subscriptions-for-your-confluence-site.html).
