Click on the icon that looks like a calendar. Your calendar will open up in a New Browser Tab/Window. This makes it easy to go back and forth between email and your calendar especially when needing to refer to an email for setting up a new event.

Outstanding Calendar Issues post migration to the Cloud

For calendar events created prior to the migration to the cloud, there is a Microsoft software bug and Microsoft is aware of this problem and working towards a resolution. I cancelled/deleted a meeting but it is still showing up on my calendar and/or my attendee's calendars. I modified my calendar event changing the day and time and/or adding or deleting attendees but the changes did NOT take effect. The work around is to email the attendees if you have cancelled an event. If you need to modify an event, email the attendees about the change, explain the Microsoft bug and to expect a new event invite:

1. You need to create a new invite for changes to the time, day or attendees. 2. If you are just Adding more attendees in order to minimize confusion for all create a new

event and invite only the additional attendees.
