# Considerations for Using Calendars in Lightning Experience

Keep in mind these considerations for creating, updating, and owning calendar items in Lightning Experience.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in Lightning Experience in: <strong>All</strong> Editions except <strong>Personal</strong> and <strong>Contact Manager</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Calendar Views

- You can’t hide weekends in the Calendar view.
- You can see events for up to 50 calendars. For public, resource, and other user’s calendar events, you can see the subject, start time, and end time in the event preview detail. Other fields you added to the compact layout aren’t visible.
- When previewing an event, the date, type, time, duration, attendees, and email aren’t visible.
- The availability, day, week, and month calendar views show the view that you selected most recently when you return. When you use the table view, the calendar shows the default view when you return. To see your favorite list view as soon as the table view loads, click the pin icon.
- When using Lightning Experience on iPad Safari, users can tap events to see the event preview card. To close, users can tap anywhere outside the preview card.

## Calendar Limits

- Depending on your customization options, you can view up to 150 or up to 500 calendar items total in the day, week, or month view, including Salesforce events and the items on calendars you create. Suppose that you select a calendar containing enough items to push the total past the limit in that view. Lightning Experience displays an alert and hides items on other calendars.
- You can share your My Events calendar with your manager or other colleagues, but not with personal and public groups.

## Public, Resource, and User List Calendars

- You can’t create an event for another calendar application using the Export Event (formerly Add to Outlook) button. However, if you're set up to sync events using Einstein Activity Capture or Lightning Sync, events you create and edit from Lightning Experience or any of the Salesforce mobile apps sync to Microsoft® calendars or Google Calendar™ automatically.
- If an event is assigned to a user calendar, users can’t reassign it to a public calendar.
- Only Salesforce admins and users with setup permissions can update user list views.
- Only the first 31 users are displayed when adding a user list calendar.
