Frequently Asked Questions

Does Daylite sync appointments to Google Calendar?

Yes, the sync is two-ways. Appointments created in Daylite with the selected category will appear in Google Calendar, and events created in Google Calendar will appear in Daylite.

How far back does the sync go?

All events — past and future — in both the Google calendar and the Daylite category are synced.

How often does the sync run?

On demand. When a change is made in either Daylite or Google Calendar, the sync is triggered automatically.

If an event is moved in Google Calendar, does it update in Daylite?

Yes. The updated time will sync to Daylite.

If an event is deleted in Google Calendar, what happens in Daylite?

The appointment is moved to the Trash in Daylite. You can recover the event by going to Window > Trash in Daylite.

If an appointment is trashed in Daylite, is it deleted in Google?

Yes.

Does Google distinguish between cancelled and deleted events?

No. Google treats deleted and cancelled as the same action. In both cases, the appointment will be trashed in Daylite.
