Appointment Slots
The appointment slots feature lets you set one period of time on your calendar, divided into available time slots for people to reserve. For instance, teachers can have their students reserve time during office hours each week:

To let people start booking appointments, simply direct them to the appointment page. You can find the URL for it at the top of the appointment slot details page.

Visitors to this page will see a calendar showing the available appointments. They’ll also see their own calendar overlaid on the appointment page, making it easy to see what times work for them.

To book an appointment, visitors simply click one of the available appointment buttons and click Save.

Appointments that have been booked won’t be visible to future visitors to the appointment page.

Attendees can cancel their appointment by deleting or declining the event on their own calendar, which will appear as a decline on your calendar. The appointment then becomes bookable for future visitors to the appointment page.

Labs

There a few calendar labs that can help you manage your calendar.
You may see the Labs list by selecting the gear icon and then clicking on the Labs tab.
