Google Calendar - Updated Individual Calendar Settings

Along with a new look, the settings are a bit different in Calendars now.  Not only do they look a bit different, but they are reorganized also.  Here's a brief overview of what can be found where now.  

First, when you right-click on a calendar (or click the arrow to the right of a calendar), the menu is simplified from what it was previously.  There are now only 3 options (left side of picture below) - 
  • Display this only
  • Hide from list
  • Settings & Sharing

Comparison of new to old Calendar setting menu

When you select Settings & Sharing for a calendar, another list appears directly below that calendar -

That list matches each section of the settings that appear in the content window (where the calendar normally displays) -

The following sections and corresponding information can be found in the settings above:

  1. Calendar settings: the calendar name, description, time zone and (if applicable) organization the calendar belongs to.
  2. Auto-accept invitations: set if invitations sent to that calendar are automatically added to the calendar or not. 
  3. Access permissions: is the calendar available to the public, and/or just your organization, along with what level of access others have
  4. Share with specific people: location to provide individual people with access to the calendar
  5. Event notification: the default notifications for events on this calendar
  6. All-day event notifications: the notifications for all-day events on this calendar
  7. General notifications: notifications on shared events, and the daily agenda
  8. Integrate calendar: the URLs/code to view the calendar on the web, embed the calendar onto a web page, access the calendar in other applications, and the "secret" address to view the calendar if it is not public.
  9. Remove calendar: where you can unsubscribe or delete (if you own it) a calendar

 Myself, I think it to be a much nicer layout, and less work to find the various calendar settings in this nice new layout.
