Shared Calendar Confusion

Im confused… The grandfathered old $5/month plan and the new Solo plan list the shared calendar as an available feature. What aspect of that new feature can I use if I’m the only user?

You get to use the calendar on it’s own and you can share ical feeds from it with others as well as subscribe to their ical feeds. Then, if you upgrade to multiuser Backpack, others can see the events that you create.

So the sharing of the ical feeds is the new feature for the single user plans?

No, I think it is the ability for other to work on the same calendar as you, once you give them access to your backpack account.

The Backpack calendar has always had iCalendar feeds.

What’s new is that multiple people can work on the same calendar if they are on a multiuser plan.

I think the confusion is coming from the account chart where it shows that a shared calendar is a feature of the solo plan. It seems odd to show it as a feature when it really can’t be used with that being a single user plan.

Okay, thanks everyone for their help but I’m still confused

@Jason – So what is new with the calendar (besides the ability to turn on/off the view of indv cals) for the single user accounts?
