How syncing works
Outlook refreshes internet calendars on its own schedule. Subscription is different from importing an .ics file: a subscription can receive future changes, while a one-time import cannot.
Keep your feed URL private
Your URL identifies your subscription. Do not publish it, paste it into public posts, or share screenshots that reveal it.
Upcoming releases included

Questions about Microsoft Outlook
Should I import the ICS file or subscribe from the web?
Use Subscribe from web. Importing creates a one-time copy and will not receive later schedule changes.
Why do I see the calendar on the web but not desktop Outlook?
Check that desktop Outlook is connected to the same Microsoft account and that the subscribed calendar is enabled in its list.
Will Outlook convert release times to my timezone?
Yes. The feed stores timezone-aware events and Outlook displays them using the timezone configured for your calendar.
