Combine Calendars with Calendar Sets

Calendar sets are a method to view multiple calendars together in one combination calendar view. The calendars remain separate, but are viewed as one. This allows you to more easily manage multiple calendars. Most users have multiple calendars since calendars are created for each of the following: your personal calendar, course calendars for each course, group calendar for each group you are a member of, and any other calendars you may have created or subscribed to.

Using Calendar Sets

Screen Capture: Calendar Sets Tab

Select the "Calendar Sets" tab to create a new calendar set. You can have more than one calendar set if needed. Calendar sets can also be edited. For example, you may want to edit your calendar set each semester to update your new course calendars.
