⇱ Calendar view – Notion Help Center

Calendars show when your database items are scheduled to take place. To use one, your database must contain a Date property.

Want to track your database’s events with the rest of your appointments, meetings, and plans? You can add your Notion database to Notion Calendar so you can see all your important dates in one place! You can even update your database dates directly from Notion Calendar. Learn more about how to do this here →

  1. Create a new page in your workspace.

  2. Under Get started with, click the ••• and then Calendar.

If you want to create an inline calendar, type /Calendar view on any page and press enter.

Note: Expand inline databases to full page by clicking ⤢ at the top right.

Add calendar view to a database

You can add a calendar to an existing database to view its data in that format. Learn more about views here →

  1. Click + next to the name of your database or the name of your current database view.

  2. Select Calendar from the dropdown menu.

You can modify your calendar in a few different ways. Change its properties and appearance.

Weekly view

To get a more specific view of your calendar, you can display your pages as weeks instead of months:

  1. Open the settings menu at the top right of your database → Layout.

  2. Click Show calendar as and then select Week.

Show another month

Notion calendars display in monthly format. Skip back to a past month or ahead to a future month in one of two ways:

  1. Click the < or > arrows surrounding the word Today at the top right of your calendar.

  2. Scroll down infinitely and you'll see the months advance at the top left of your calendar. (You can't scroll up to go back in time.)

Note: Your calendar will remember which date range you were viewing last. Next time you open the page, that's the range you'll see.

Move and stretch cards

Rearrange cards on your calendar with drag-and-drop.

  • Click and hold any card to drag and drop it to any other day on your calendar.

  • Have your card span multiple days by hovering over its right or left edge, clicking and dragging to expand it in either direction.

Display, hide, and order properties

You can choose which properties you want displayed on the front of the cards on your calendar – like a due date or project lead.

  1. Open the settings menu at the top right of your database → Property visibility.

  2. Select 👁️ next to properties to show or hide them.

  3. Use ⋮⋮ to drag your properties in the order in which you want them to be displayed in your calendar.

Switch between calendars

If you have multiple date properties in your database, you can view separate calendars for each of them.

  1. Open the settings menu at the top right of your database → Layout.

  2. Click Show calendar by and select your date property.

Start your week on Monday

Calendars in Notion will use Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week, depending on your region. That includes the date picker for reminders and calendar databases. If you prefer, you can change this manually. To do this:

  1. Go to Settings in your sidebar → Preferences.

  2. Under Language & Time, toggle on or off Start week on Monday.
