External user’s view on the shared link
If you’ve received a shared calendar link, this is what you’ll see and be able to do:
-
1 Click on the shared link. If a password was set during link creation, enter it and click Continue to access the calendar details.
-
2 Switch from the default List view to the Calendar view by clicking Calendar.
-
3 The calendar will display posts exactly as they appeared when shared (including their layout and structure). The view will respect the selected calendar filter (Month or Week View) chosen during link creation.
-
4 Posts will be displayed date-wise with time and other details intact.
-
5 The visibility of posts depends on the sharing option selected by the sender:
- Share current view only – You’ll see the exact calendar view shared at that moment. Future changes or new posts won’t appear.
- Share future content – The calendar will keep updating automatically as new posts are scheduled or existing ones are changed.
-
6 You can filter the calendar by Approved, Rejected, or Commented posts.
