Import an Outlook Calendar

This help doc explains how to import an Outlook calendar to your AddEvent calendar. This is convenient if you have created events on your personal/work calendar, as you can import them to your AddEvent calendar to share with your audience without having to recreate them in your dashboard. Once imported, they can be shared in the same ways as any other event or as part of a calendar. You can edit these events in your Outlook calendar, and your changes will be synchronized to AddEvent. Please note that any changes you need to make to the calendar's events must be made from the Outlook calendar. The events cannot be edited within the AddEvent dashboard.
