Edit multiple events

Select several events and change them together.

Edit multiple events

Select events

In Week view, hold Shift and drag a box around the events, or Shift-click them one at a time. A drag to create an event that crosses into another day selects the events it covers instead. Press ⌘A to select everything visible. Press Escape to clear the selection.

When you release a box, the selection menu opens beside it. To open it again, right-click a selected event or press ↵.

Change the selection

The menu's first row, N selected, lists the events you are about to change.

  • Lock or Unlock: See Lock an event.
  • Move to...: Move the events to another calendar, or to the Inbox.
  • Reschedule...: Move every selected event later or earlier by the same amount.
  • Event type...: Change the type and apply its defaults. Hotel and Payment make an event all-day, and Reminder removes its duration.
  • Labels...: Add or remove a label on every selected event.
  • Theme...: Set the appearance of every selected event.
  • Archive: Remove the selected events from the calendar. You can also press Delete. Locked events are skipped, and a repeating event is archived as a whole series.

Undo a bulk change

Press ⌘Z, or choose Undo in the confirmation. Archived events can also be restored from Settings → Archive.

A bulk theme change is an override on each event. To return an event to its type's theme, open its Theme picker and choose Use type default.
