Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to move the Overlayed calendar onto the right side of the app and have my single calendar on the left side of the the app. Basically, I just want to flip these two calendars location, but I cannot find a way to do so.

I can move calendars from the right side to the left by overlaying them, but what do I do if I want the overlayed calendar on the right side and just a single calendar on the left side?

    Hi @Kieran

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Based on your description, it clearly shows your intent to flip the positions of the overlayed calendar (currently on the left) and the single calendar (currently on the right). Unfortunately, most calendar applications (including Outlook and similar platforms) do not support manually rearranging the position of overlayed vs. single calendars in a side-by-side view. The overlayed calendar typically defaults to the primary calendar pane, which is usually on the left, and additional calendars appear to the right.

    After researching, here are some solutions you can try:

    1. Change the Primary Calendar If your app allows you to set a different calendar as the primary one, try:
      • Unchecking all calendars.
      • Selecting only the calendar you want on the left
      • Then re-checking the others to overlay them.
    2. Use Separate Windows Some calendar apps (like Outlook) allow you to open calendars in separate windows. You could:
      • Open the overlayed calendar in one window.
      • Open the single calendar in another.
      • Manually arrange them side by side on your screen.
    3. Switch to Overlay Mode Temporarily If your goal is to compare calendars, consider using full overlay mode (where all events are stacked in one view) and toggle calendars on/off as needed.

    I hope it helps, if I misunderstand your point, please pardon me and provide more details information so I can support you more effective.
