What Calendar does
Pick one to see it.
The dates you already wrote down
A date in a paragraph, a table row, a task or a decision becomes an event, with mentions as participants and the surrounding text as its title. No macro is needed on the page before a calendar can read it.
- Byline shows how many dates a page holds
Put a calendar on any page
The Calendar macro shows the dates on its own page, or a shared saved calendar. Choose day, week, month, year or agenda, and let readers add and edit events from the page.
- Calendar, Event and Clock macros
Shared calendars for teams
Create space and global calendars, choose which pages each reads dates from, and colour them. My calendar gathers up to five calendars and everything you are part of into one private view.
- Import an .ics file
- Stored as Confluence content
Follow it from your own calendar app
Anyone signed in can make a personal, read-only iCal link to a saved calendar, with one-click hand-offs to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. The feed refreshes about a minute after an event changes.
- Administrators can revoke any link
Time zones handled
Events keep their time zone, and everyone sees them at the right local time. The Clock macro shows a row of world clocks, with presets for the Americas, EMEA and APAC.

Questions, answered from the docs
Each answer links to the page it comes from.
Where do events come from?
Three places: Capable Event macros on pages, Confluence’s own date chips on pages (in paragraphs, table rows, tasks and decisions), and events saved inside a Capable calendar.

Can I see a calendar in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook?
Yes. Open a saved calendar, choose Subscribe, create your personal link and hand it to Google, Apple or Outlook. It is read-only: changes made in those apps don’t come back to Confluence. How often the app checks for updates is up to the app.

Who can see a calendar?
A saved calendar is Confluence content, stored in the space or page you create it in, so it follows that location’s permissions. Confluence administrators can see and revoke every personal subscription link.

Can readers switch views inside the macro?
The macro opens in the view you choose: day, week, month, year or agenda. Readers press Maximise to open a full calendar with a view switcher.

Does it show Jira issues?
No. Calendar doesn’t connect to Jira today, so there is nothing to set up for it.
