Best Practices

Don’t over-schedule. Too many recurring meetings can overwhelm calendars. Question whether every recurring meeting is necessary.
Periodically audit your recurring events. Cancel or adjust ones that are no longer useful.
It’s fine to skip or reschedule individual occurrences. This keeps the series intact while accommodating real-world schedule changes.
Since recurring events happen often, make sure the description includes context for regular attendees and newcomers alike.
For teams across time zones, choose times that work reasonably for everyone, or rotate times periodically.

Troubleshooting

When editing, make sure you select the correct scope (this event only, this and future, or all events).
  • Check the start date is in the past or present
  • Verify the recurrence pattern is correct
  • Make sure it wasn’t accidentally deleted
Past events may have limited editing options. You can typically only modify future occurrences.
