Page 503 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

To delete an appointment, open it and then hit Delete at the top.

If you’re opening a recurring event, like a weekly meeting, a drop-down

menu offers “Delete one” (you want to operate on only that particular
instance of the event) or “Delete all” (you’re deleting the whole series from
that point forward).

If other people have been invited, the button says “Cancel meeting” instead
of Delete; they’ll be notified about the change. And when you hit that
button, you’re invited to type a little message of apology or shame.

What’s in the Left-Side Panel

At the left side of Calendar, there’s a handy panel of options. (If you see
only a narrow strip of icons, hit the at top left to open the panel.)

There’s a minicalendar, for quick navigation of your life’s timeline. Below
that: a list of your calendar accounts and the color-coded categories within
them. By turning a category’s checkbox on or off, you can show or hide all

appointments in that category. That’s an incredible way to wade through a
crowded schedule to focus on, say, your kids’ events. (There’s an “Add
calendars” button, too, for adding new calendar accounts.)

Below that: four icons. There’s Mail (because email is something you often
do when you’re calendaring), Calendar (because you may want to switch
back), People (opens your contacts list), and Settings. Read on.

Settings

If you choose at lower left, you open the Settings panel on the right edge
of the window. Here you’ve got these categories:

Manage Accounts. Edit or delete any of your calendar accounts

(Outlook, iCloud, Gmail, and so on).

Personalization. What color scheme do you prefer? Do you want
black/dark-gray backgrounds (“dark mode”), white/light-gray ones

(“light mode”), or whatever you picked for Windows itself
