To move an existing appointment to a different date or time, hover the cursor over the appointment until it changes to the 4-way arrow cursor (above), then click and drag the appointment to the desired date and time before releasing the mouse button. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm that you would like to save the changes to the appointment. Selecting Yes will save the changes, and selecting No will leave the appointment as is.

A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm that you would like to save the changes to the appointment. Selecting Yes will save the changes, and selecting No will leave the appointment as is.

Changing a repeating appointment
To change a repeating appointment, double click, or right click and select Edit details on any instance of the series of repeating appointment. After updating the appointment, click Update event .

| NOTE: When updating All instances of a repeating event, the entire series of appointments will be deleted, and then re-created again, using the start date of the instance being edited. For example, if you update a repeating appointment using the third instance of a series that has five instances, the first two instances will be deleted, and the third instance becomes the first instance with four instances following it. If you want to maintain a series of repeating events with their original dates, you should either edit the first instance of the series, or edit any other instance and change the start date to the desired date (e.g. the date when the first instance occurs). This applies only when a change is made to the following event details: location, calendar, date, time, or repeat details. Changing other appointment details (e.g. description, duration, or summary) would not cause the series to be re-created. |
