Copying an Event from One Calendar to Another

Post date: Oct 11, 2016 11:24:08 AM

Wouldn't it be nice if, when you learned something new, you immediately knew all of the shortcuts that made everything move more quickly and efficiently? I'm not going to reveal all the Google Calendar shortcuts today but I do want to point out one that may make it easier to create events on multiple calendars. This can be useful if you have created a Library or Integration Lab reservation and want to have a reminder of that on your own Calendar. You may also have created multiple Calendars for different groups you are involved in and would like to make sure a meeting you have scheduled for one of those groups also appears on your own calendar.

1. After the Event you would like to copy has already been created, Click on the Event to open up its details.

2. At the top of the Event window Click More Actions, which appears to the right of Delete

3. Choose the Calendar you would like to copy the Event to.

4. Add any additional details you would like and Click the red Save button at the top of the Event Window.

The Event has now been copied from one calendar to another. Copying does not remove the original event, it just makes a copy on the Calendar you chose. These Events are not linked either. If a change is made on one Calendar, it would also need to be made on the other. The list of Calendars you have available to copy an Event to are those Calendars you own or you have permission to modify. You should be able to copy from any Calendar you have access to view though.
