Custom events

Please note that the free version of Calendar for Confluence has limitations, allowing only up to three custom events. With the free version, you can create and manage a maximum of three custom events on the calendar. To bypass this limitation and enjoy unlimited custom events, consider upgrading to the Pro version of Calendar for Confluence.

In Calendar Pro for Confluence, you have the advantage of unlimited custom events support. This means you can add as many custom events as you need to the calendar, making it easier to manage and streamline your work. Take full advantage of this feature to enhance your productivity and stay organized within Confluence.
