Good to know

Petal Home copies events from a month ago up to a year ahead.
Repeating events from Google or your phone come in as repeating events. From Outlook, each date comes in separately.
Calendars that are already syncing show "Already syncing" and are skipped. Apple Calendar is on iPad too.
Anyone who can edit Plan can choose Household for an import, not only admins.
To remove an import, find it under Brought in once on Import calendar, tap ⋯, then Remove.
