gCal #undelete

— event color defaults to the “host calendar”. Each host calendar has a default color. For example, if you don’t like red you can have a green default. LeftMenu > MyCalendars > pick a calendar > hover on its right until 3 dots show up > click

— recurring yet mutable events (like my PIN practice)
Don’t update ALL occurrences because Past events preserve past PINs that are crucial for recovery.  However, the ALL option is such a big dangerous button! How can I neutralize this hazard?

  • tip: every time you edit such an event, disable the recurrence first, then update.
  • tip: create a new short series with a new title each time
  • tip: prefer editing the start of a series. This edit should NOT show the hazardous ALL option.

— undelete an event

Contrary to the standard instructions, had to look at top right -> locate the “gear” icon -> click and find Trash -> click to see the list of deleted items.

— add event to custom calendar

Assumption: you have created one (or more) custom calendar named myCal.

  1. click into the target date, to get a pop-up for new event creation
  2. find your name, which represents the default calendar. This rectangular area is actually a clickable dropdown !
  3. The dropdown will show the default calendar, myCal and other custom calendars
