Google Calendar: Cheat Sheet

In most cases, an online calendar should remain digital because events change. But in some situations, it can be helpful to print a week, month, or the agenda view. Review the resource linked below for step-by-step instructions.

When you sync your calendar on your mobile device, the same events will show up when you use Google Calendar on your computer. The recommended option is to install the Google Calendar app on your Android or iOS (iPhone) device.

To easily help you remember events, you can get notifications on your phone, computer, or by email. You can change your notification settings for a single event, or all your events.

You can set up a block of appointments on your calendar that other people can reserve. For example, teacher can invite their students to reserve time during office hours each week.

Appointment slots are useful when you don't know who needs to meet with you, but you want to make yourself available. You can offer people a block of time on your calendar that they can book time slots within. For example, you can set aside 2 hours that you're available to meet with people in 30-minute slots. Others can then book one of the 30-minute slots within that time that works best for them.
