Question

How do I create a new calendar in Outlook?

Answer

Creating a new calendar is a great way to track or schedule events without them getting mixed in to your personal work calendar. Creating a new calendar is easy, and you can even publish it so others can see it.  It may be useful as a way to publish a work schedule for your students.

1. To get started, open Outlook and go in to your Calendar.
2. From the Home ribbon, find and click the Add Calendar icon in the Manage Calendar group.  Click Create New Blank Calendar…

3. Give the new calendar a name.  Then click OK. You can leave the calendar in the suggested location.

4. The new calendar has been added to your list of available calendars and located under My Calendars.  You can begin to add items to it like you do for your regular calendar.  Feel free to create as many calendars as you need!
