Adding an EventClick + New Event or press N. Set the title, calendar, category, date, times, colour, and recurrence. Tick All day for full-day events. Tick Milestone / deadline to mark it as a diamond-shaped marker rather than a time block.
🗓️
Multi-day EventsTick All day, then fill in the End date field that appears to colour-code a whole span — e.g. one person's vacation — in a single entry instead of adding it day by day. It shows on every day of the range in Week, Day, Month and Agenda views.
