Where events come from

Three source types, called "event types" throughout: Capable Event macros on pages; Confluence's own date chips on pages; and In-Calendar Events saved inside a Capable calendar. Page dates are read live out of the page every time a calendar renders.


#Where you do it

A March month grid with a hover card open for an event named test event, showing the viewer's timezone, the date, a link to the page it came from and one named participant.
Hovering an event shows where it came from, with a link back to the page holding the date and the people mentioned alongside it.
A month calendar with an event on 21 November and a hover card listing title, date, duration, user, page and type.
Pointing at a card names the page the date was read from and whether the line was a decision or a task.
