Edit or move an event

Plans change. You can rename an event, change its time, swap its calendar or course, or drag it to a new slot — and every change syncs to your other devices right away.

Before you start

You can only edit events you own. Events synced from a group or from Google Calendar are read-only in Latte — Latte will tell you to edit the event at the source instead.

🖥 Web
📱 Mobile

Open Calendar and click the event. It opens as an overlay.

Edit any field in place — click the name, the time, the description, or the Related course and change it. Your edits save as you make them.

{
  "id": "web.calendar-and-events.edit-an-event.event-overlay",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/organization/calendar/week",
  "actions": [
    {
      "pom": {
        "page": "CalendarPage",
        "call": "openEvent",
        "args": [
          "Study session — Analysis II"
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "event-display-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

To move an event, drag it to a new day or time on the grid. To change how long it lasts, drag its bottom edge.
If the event repeats, changing its time asks Reschedule a recurring event so you can decide whether the change applies to one occurrence or the whole series — see Recurring events.

On the Latte desktop app

Dragging and inline editing work exactly the same in the desktop app.

Open the Calendar tab and tap the event to open its detail screen.
Tap the field you want to change — the name, the time, the Related course, the description, or the associated calendar — and edit it. Changes save as you go.

  "platform": "mobile",
  "route": "/organization/calendar/events/:eventId",
  "actions": [
    {
      "tapOn": {
        "id": "calendar-event-item"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
If the event repeats, changing its time asks which occurrences to update — see Recurring events.

tip

Changing an event's category to a Task or Deadline lets you link it to one of your courses, which is what makes it show up on your course dashboard.
