FAQs​

Q: Why would you copy calendars instead of creating a new one?

Copying calendars is useful when you want to reuse an existing configuration as a starting point. All settings from the original are duplicated, and you can then modify the copy as needed.

Q: Does copying calendars require a new unique name?

Yes. The copy must be saved with a new unique name to distinguish it from the original calendars record.
