# Manage Events in Lightning Experience

Create, update, and track meetings using the Home page, your calendar or calendars you create, the Kanban Board, or the activity timeline.

- On the Home page, Today’s Events shows the next five meetings on your calendar today. Past events drop off the list as the day progresses.
- In the navigation menu, choose **Calendar** to work with all your events and to create events.
    - Share your event calendar with others, subscribe to your coworkers’ calendars, and (if you have permission) add events to their calendar and edit their events.
    - Create other calendars from a standard or custom object: Choose the date field you want to track, and the calendar displays data in that field as calendar items.
    - To view more events simultaneously in list views, select **Table** view. Use the predefined lists or use your own filters, such as contacts or accounts, to focus on specific events.
- On the Kanban Board, opportunities show alerts when no open activities exist. To create an event, click the yellow triangle.
- Use the activity timeline to monitor and update upcoming and past events on an opportunity, a lead, an account, or a contact.
- If your admin or coworkers haven’t given you access to coworkers’ calendars, use activities reports to view events owned by people below you in the role hierarchy.

Note You can remove a contact or a record from an event without deleting the event. For example, suppose that an event is related to Contact A and Contact B, but you want to relate it only to Contact A. Instead of deleting the event, remove Contact B from the Name field.

Support cases? Retail store events? Opportunities due to close? Create a calendar from a standard or custom object: Choose a date field that represents data you want to track, and the calendar displays data in that field as calendar items. You can customize most calendars by applying a list view. We’ve included a few popular examples. You can hide or show calendars, and you can edit and delete them. Some considerations apply to creating calendars.")
