2. Click the green button "Add a section " from the right column  
3.  Add a calendar section by choosing "Calendar" from the available options

Note: When a section calendar is created, it automatically creates an Event widget on your home page.

5. Publication Status of your Event

The button at the bottom right of the screen allows you to select the publication status of your event:

-Publish: Your event will be visible immediately to your users. 
-Draft: Your event will be saved but not visible to your users. 
-Not published: Your event will be saved but not visible to your users. This status can be useful to inform your team members that an article must be reviewed before publication, for example.  
-Delay: The publication of your event will be scheduled for the time and date you set.  



6. Settings of the Calendar Section

To edit the settings of your Calendar page, refer to this online help: Settings of the pages.



7. IMPORTANT

The time zone of reference for your events is the one you set in your profile (My profile > My account).
From this time zone, your app will update the event times depending on where the telephone/computer of your users is.

Example:
You set at 11 am an event with (UTC +1) Paris France time zone as a reference for the admin creating the event.

Your app will "transform" that time to whatever time it is, in the time zone the device using the app is:
- Users in New York, New York, USA (UTC -5): will see the event at 5 am
- Users in Tokyo, Japan (UTC +9): will see the event at 7 pm
