Sometimes you get invited to an event, but the time just doesn't work for you.  Either you already have something scheduled, or another event comes up that takes precedence.  Instead of canceling or declining the event, you do have the ability to propose a new time to the event organizer.  It is easy to do (and modify), and also will let you send a note explaining why you would like a change in date and/or time.  (Here is a video on How to Propose a New Event Time )  The blog post also includes how to cancel a proposed new time at the end. To propose a new event time to the organizer: Click on the event you wish to propose a new time for.  Look for an arrow in the bottom right corner of the event details - A couple new options will appear; select Propose a new time - A window appears on the left side of the screen where you can: Propose a new time (or even day) Add an optional message for the organizer Once done, click on Send proposal...

What can you do when you get an invitation to a meeting you cannot attend?  With a recent change, it is now easy to propose a new meeting time.  While viewing your calendar, click on the event you are invited to and want to propose a change in meeting day/time. When the detail window pops up, look at the bottom in the response bar for an arrow on the right side - When clicking on that arrow, you get 2 more options.  Click on Propose a new time to do that - When you select to Propose a new time, you get a new window.  The left pane of the window lets you RSVP and propose a new date and/or time.  You can also add a message.  On the right, it will display the calendars of any invitees for which you have viewing rights to help you suggest a time with minimal conflicts.  When done, click on Send Proposal - You have now proposed a new time to the organizer of the event.
