What's New in Full Calendar

This page highlights the latest major features and improvements to help you get the most out of the plugin.
For a detailed version-by-version breakdown, see the Changelog.

🎨 Powerful Advanced Categories & Coloring

Supercharge your calendar's organization with Advanced Categories! This new system allows you to override a calendar's default color for specific events based on a category prefix in the event's title. It's the foundation for many powerful features to come.

  • Universal Organization: Works for local and remote calendars. An event from Google Calendar titled Work - Project Deadline will be colored correctly in Obsidian.
  • Sub-Categories: Organize even further with a Category - SubCategory - Title format.
  • Smart Setup: When you enable the feature, the plugin can automatically categorize your existing events based on their folder structure.
  • Autocomplete Editor: The event editor now has a dedicated "Category" field with autocomplete suggestions for all your existing categories, ensuring consistency.

✨ Recurring Events Reimagined

The entire recurring event system has been rebuilt from the ground up to be more powerful, intuitive, and safe.

  • Per-Instance Editing: Drag, resize, or rename a single occurrence of a recurring event without affecting the entire series. The plugin automatically creates a smart "override" that is linked to the parent.
  • Recurring Tasks That Work: Check off a single instance of a recurring task as "done." It will be crossed out for that day only, leaving future occurrences ready for action.
  • Safe Deletion: When deleting a recurring event, you'll now be asked whether you want to delete just that one instance, or the entire series (including any overrides you've made).

🌍 Robust Timezone Support

Travel and collaborate across timezones with confidence. Full Calendar is now fully timezone-aware, ensuring your events always appear at the correct local time, no matter where you are.

  • Display Timezone: Set a specific timezone for your calendar view, independent of your system's timezone. Perfect for planning trips or coordinating with remote teams.
  • Automatic Conversion: Events from all sources—local notes, daily notes, and remote calendars like Google Calendar—are automatically converted to your chosen display timezone.
  • DST Safe: All conversions are Daylight Saving Time aware, so you never have to worry about "fall back" or "spring forward" bugs again.

🖌️ Redesigned Event Editor

The event editor has been completely redesigned from the ground up for a cleaner, more intuitive experience.

  • Two-Column Layout: A polished layout makes it easier to find and edit the fields you need.
  • Logical Grouping: Date, time, and recurrence options are logically grouped for faster editing.
  • Dedicated Actions: Buttons for Save, Delete, and Open Note are neatly organized in the footer.
