Uh-oh! It looks like your ad blocker is preventing the video from playing.
Calendars let you visualize how database items connect to certain dates. Use one when you want a bird's-eye view for important launch dates, multi-day events, or even projects spanning multiple months 🗓️
Jump to FAQsCalendars show when your database items are scheduled to take place. To use one, your database must contain a Date
property.
Want to track your database’s events with the rest of your appointments, meetings, and plans? You can add your Notion database to Notion Calendar so you can see all your important dates in one place!
