Modifying the calendar sharing
There have been updates to Petal’s calendar sharing.
To synchronize your Petal calendar to your Apple calendar, first you must remove Petal’s calendar from the Apple calendar display and stop the Petal calendar sharing. Then, follow the new procedure to display your Petal calendar on your Apple Calendar.
Removing Petal’s calendar (ICS) from the Apple calendar
In order to use CalDAV as calendar sharing method, you first have to stop your current calendar sharing between the Petal calendar and the Apple calendar.
To stop sharing your Petal calendar with an Apple calendar, whether it’s yours or someone else’s, use the following steps.
On an iPhone or iPad
- Select your Calendar application
- Touch Calendars >
> Unsubscribe
On a Mac
-
Go to your calendar, and then click the details icon located in the top left corner.
-
From the calendar list, right-click Petal’s calendar Select Unsubscribe.
Your Petal calendar is now unsynchronized from your Apple calendar.
To synchronize it again using the new method, refer to Adding a Petal calendar to your Apple Calendar.
Stopping the Petal calendar sharing
To stop the Petal calendar sharing, on the right side pane, click on Show Password, then click on Reset password.
