The All-New Google Calendar is here.
Google Calendar for
web has been treated to a much needed makeover. The service is one of Google’s
most popular online tools, but it’s long looked old and somewhat stale compared
to some of the company’s other offerings. The revamped version feels a lot more
modern, and has finally caught up with the mobile app.
You can now add far more
detail about a meeting room to a calendar event, such as its size and location,
and whether or not it has audio/video equipment or is wheelchair accessible. To
see the information, all you need to do is hover over the room name in a
calendar entry.
You can also add rich text to calendar
invitations, and link out to relevant spreadsheets, documents or presentations
in them. Google has made it easier to manage and understand multiple calendars
in the Day view too. Once you click Day and select the calendars you want to
compare, the new version of Calendar will display them simultaneously, but in
separate columns.
“There are a number of other
changes in Calendar, too,” says Google. “Now you can see contact information of
meeting participants when you hover over their names in a calendar invite. “There’s
also a new way to view and restore deleted items in one place in case you
accidentally delete a meeting. Additionally, ‘Day’, ‘Week’, and ‘Month’ views
are now more accessible, featuring better compatibility with screen readers.”
They aren’t enormous changes
but they’re welcome and necessary, and should help users stay organized.
To access the new version,
open up Calendar and click the Use New Calendar option in the upper right hand
corner of the main view. If you can’t see the option, it isn’t available for
your account yet.
