We introduced a range of enhancements designed to simplify scheduling, improve collaboration, and give you greater control over how you manage your time. From smarter event creation and sharing to improved accessibility and customization, each update was shaped with your needs in mind.

This post brings together a snapshot of the key updates rolled out over the last 12 months—features that aim to make your day-to-day scheduling smoother, more intuitive, and more productive.
