Important Information About Imported Events

• Event Visibility: Imported events are visible to subscribers of the AddEvent calendar but cannot be edited within AddEvent.
• Editing Imported Events: Any updates to imported events must be made in the original calendar, which will then automatically sync with AddEvent.
• Event Age: Only external events created within the last month will be included in the import unless they are part of a recurring event series.
• Recurring events: Recurring rules from external calendar services are not supported. This means that if the external calendar contains recurring events, any edits you make to those recurring events in the original calendar will not sync properly with your AddEvent calendar.

  🚧

  Please make any necessary final edits to recurring events in your external calendar before importing the external calendar into AddEvent.
