Edit this Post   confused   Calendar Export / Import Reply to this Post

[Delete this Thread]

I just took over a calendar on the Webmaster Plan that has been neglected for years and I need to clean it up. There are tons of recurring events going into 2030 that are no longer valid.

I'm wondering if I can:

- export a date range

- edit/remove the entries as needed

- import it back

Will it replace the existing online entries or add to them? My goal is to leave only the entries that I import after I clear it up.

Any insight appreciated!

If you import events, they will not replace the existing entries, they will be duplicates.
However, if before importing you purge the calendar for a specific date range, it will be empty for your import and you won't have doubles.

However, since a purge is such a drastic action, I would recommend exporting from one calendar, create a new temporary calendar (register a new account basically, which will have a 30 day trial of Webmaster) and test your import there to make sure you get the results that you expect.

Also, I recommend using the iCal format for import/export since it retains all the recurrence info better. It's a little clunkier to hand-edit, but the most feature-complete type of export.
