# Calendar View

The Calendar page in the sidebar shows upcoming dates across your transactions — closings, key dates, task due dates, and custom events in one view.

## Navigating the calendar

- **Month and Week views** — Switch between a monthly overview and a detailed weekly view with time slots
- **Navigate dates** — Move forward and back by month or week, or jump to today
- **Click any day** — The agenda panel shows all events for that selected day
- **Add Event** — Create a custom event with subject, description, location, date/time, all-day setting, and color

On desktop, the agenda appears beside the calendar. On mobile, it appears below the calendar.

## Color-coded events

Events are color-coded by type so you can tell them apart at a glance:

- **Closing** — Transaction closing dates
- **Key Date** — Important transaction deadlines
- **Tasks** — Due dates for open tasks
- **Event** — Custom calendar events you added manually

The legend at the top of the calendar shows what each color means.

## Day agenda

Click any day to see the full agenda panel. From here you can:

- Click an event to see its details
- Add a new event to that day
- Review event time, all-day status, and location when available

## Google Calendar

If Google Calendar is connected, the Calendar page shows **Sync to Google**. Use it to push closings, key dates, and tasks to Google Calendar.

If Google Calendar is not connected, the page shows **Connect Google**, which takes you to **Settings > Integrations**.

DocJacket treats DocJacket as the source of truth for transaction dates. Update dates and tasks in DocJacket, then sync those changes out to Google Calendar. This is not a general two-way import of all external calendar events.

Task due dates sync only when task calendar sync is enabled in **Settings > Calendar**. A transaction can also be hidden from Google Calendar from its Overview calendar-sync card.

## Tips

- Use the calendar to spot busy days — if you have 3 closings on the same day, you'll see it immediately
- Use custom events for meetings, showings, or internal reminders that are not transaction key dates
- Use **Settings > Integrations** to manage calendar connections
