# Syncing the schedule with Google Calendar

# Turn the sync on and copy the link

You start the sync in the **Schedule** tab (the icon on the left navigation bar). On the toolbar above the schedule click **"Calendar sync"**.

1. Go to the **Schedule** tab.
2. On the toolbar click **"Calendar sync"**.

3. In the window click **"Turn sync on"** — Proplanum will generate your private link (an `.ics` file) and a QR code.
4. Click **"Copy"** to copy the link to the clipboard.

The QR code comes in handy when you want to add the schedule to the calendar on your phone — scan it with the camera instead of typing the link out.

|| Remember: In the calendar you subscribe to you will see your shifts and your approved leave. Changes to the schedule refresh automatically — there is no need to add the calendar again. To simply view your schedule in the app, see [Checking your schedule](https://help.proplanum.com/en/article/checking-your-schedule-3vlgpn/).

# Add the calendar in Google Calendar

With the link copied, add it in Google Calendar as a calendar from a URL:

1. In Google Calendar open the **"Other calendars"** menu.
2. Pick **"From URL"**.
3. Paste the link you copied.
4. Click **"Add calendar"**.

The full sync settings (with ready instructions) are in the profile menu — click the avatar in the bottom left corner and pick **"Calendar sync"**. Besides Google Calendar there are also instructions there for iPhone, iPad, Android and Outlook.

||| Caution: The link is private — anybody who knows it will see your schedule. If the link has leaked, go to **"Calendar sync"** in your profile and click **"Generate a new link"** (the old one stops working). You can turn the sync off at any time with the **"Turn sync off"** button.
