Open, edit, duplicate or delete a meeting

Press a meeting to see a short summary without opening the whole form. From there you can edit it, make a copy for a similar meeting, or delete it.

Who can do this

Anyone who can see a meeting can open it. Editing and duplicating need Create/edit own meetings for meetings you organise, or Edit others’ meetings. Deleting needs Delete own meetings or Delete others’ meetings. Owners can do all of these.

Check a meeting

Press a meeting on the calendar. The quick view shows its title, date and time, how it repeats, location, the linked contact (“Linked to …”), who organised it (“Organized by …”), and the attendees with their responses. Press Close or Escape to close it.

If you can’t change the meeting, the quick view shows View only instead of the edit and delete buttons.

Edit a meeting

1. Open it — Press the meeting, then press Edit (the pencil) in the quick view.
2. Change it — The Edit event dialog opens. Change the details, or the people on the People tab.
3. Save — Press Save changes.

For a recurring meeting, Spine first asks whether to change This event or All events. See Set up a recurring meeting.

Duplicate a meeting

1. Open the menu — In the quick view, press More options and choose Duplicate.
2. Change what’s different — The new-event dialog opens with the title, contact, length, location, notes, visibility and invitees filled in. Change the date and anything else.
3. Save — Press Create event. A separate meeting is created; the original stays as it was.

Press Cancel to close the dialog without creating anything.

Delete a meeting

1. Choose Delete — In the quick view, press Delete (the bin), or press Delete in the edit dialog.
2. Confirm — Spine asks “Delete this meeting?” and explains it’s removed from the calendar for everyone. Press Delete to go ahead, or Cancel.

A “Meeting deleted” toast says it’s off the calendar. Everyone invited is told it’s been cancelled.

Deleting can't be undone

The meeting is removed from everyone’s calendar and from the contact’s timeline. To change the time instead, edit or drag it.
