You can set the time, location, and add any necessary notes. Remember to select your shared calendar from the drop-down menu to ensure that the event is added to the correct calendar.
Inviting Others to View or Edit the Calendar
To invite others to view or edit your shared calendar, click on the three dots next to the calendar name and select “Settings and sharing.” Under “Share with specific people,” enter the email addresses of the individuals you want to invite.
