Important Full product retirement for Salesforce for Outlook is scheduled on January 30, 2027. See [Salesforce for Outlook Retirement](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000393445&type=1&mode=1&language=en_US). To keep integrating Microsoft Outlook with Salesforce, check out our next-generation products: the Outlook integration and Einstein Activity Capture. See [Move from Salesforce for Outlook (Retiring) to the Next-Generation Products](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=outlookcrm_sfo_move_parent.htm&language=en_US).

## Why Do I Have to Prepare My Default Calendar for Migration?

Unlike Salesforce for Outlook, Einstein Activity Capture syncs with your default Outlook calendar only. You can’t manage your syncing events by selecting a certain calendar (or Outlook folder) for sync.

If you have elected to sync events to alternative calendars using Salesforce for Outlook, when your admin enables Einstein Activity Capture, the product can’t locate the alternative calendars and instead syncs any events it finds on your default calendar—which likely aren’t the events you intended to sync.

## Does This Consideration Impact You?

If you don’t know, you can check your Salesforce for Outlook Settings before Salesforce for Outlook is retired in June 2024 to see which calender you’re syncing. For help, see step 6 in [Install and Set Up Salesforce for Outlook](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=outlookcrm_install.htm&language=en_US).

## How Can I Prepare My Calendars Before Rollout?

If you want to continue managing separate calendars, move all events that you want to sync onto your default calendar. Any events that you don’t want to sync can be added to alternative calendars as instructed in [Get Ready to Sync Events Using Einstein Activity Capture](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=aac_user_get_ready_events.htm&language=en_US).

Complete these steps in a timely fashion, when your Salesforce admin asks you to. It’s important that these steps are completed before your admin rolls out Einstein Activity Capture for you.
