Calendars play an important role on your website and in Yabber. They are used for form-related functions, social media, events, and general scheduling. While Yabber makes an attempt to keep your calendars up-to-date, there will occasionally be a need to create or update a calendar, synchronise a calendar, or delete a calendar. This FAQ describes the primary calendar panel options.
Calendar Functionality: Calendars play an important part in a large number of modules. Various other FAQs will reference when calendar integration is required.
