2. The new event will appear under ‘Manage Events’.
3. To edit an existing event hit the ‘Edit’ link of the event. You can also copy an existing event instead of creating an event from scratch, by clicking on the ‘Copy’ link.

Step 3 – Preview the Calendar

This is how the event will appear in the calendar. Unlike a normal post to preview a calendar event, you have to navigate to the calendar page on your website.  It’s better to have your website open in another tab in your browser.
