Calendar view
Calendars let you visualize how database items connect to certain dates. Use one when you want a bird's-eye view for important launch dates, multi-day events, or even projects spanning multiple months đď¸
Jump to FAQsCalendars show when your database items are scheduled to take place. To use one, your database must contain a Date
 property. There are several ways to create a calendar in Notion.
Want to track your databaseâs events with the rest of your appointments, meetings, and plans? You can add your Notion database to Notion Calendar so you can see all your important dates in one place!

FAQs
How can I turn a full-page database into an in-line database?
To turn a full-page database into an in-line database, you can just drag the database into another page in the sidebar, which will turn it into a sub-page.
Then click the â˘â˘â˘
 button at the right of the title of the subpage, and go to Turn Into Inline
 in the dropdown menu to turn it into an in-line database.
To turn it back into a full-page database, you can click and drag the in-line database back into your sidebar.
How can I tell which pages in my database contain comments?
If you add a comment in the discussion section of a timeline project page, or anywhere in the body of the page, you'll see a word bubble appear in that row of the table portion of your timeline with the number of comments it contains. If you hide the table, you cannot see whether projects contain comments at a glance.
How can I integrate a Notion calendar with my Google/Apple/Microsoft calendar?
You can use our API to integrate external platforms with Notion! Check out our developer hub to get started.
We also support the ability to embed a view-only Google Calendar into Notion if you're embedding from the same email address that you're using with your Notion account.
Any way to set a default date format for the date property?
Not at the moment, unfortunately. Itâs definitely something we want to support in the future, though. We appreciate your patience while we make our way though our to-do list! đ
Can I have calendars start on Monday instead of Sunday?
Yes! This setting is automatic based on your region, but you can turn it on manually in the Language & region
 tab of Settings & Members
 in the left-hand sidebar. This will apply to every calendar in your Notion account.
Any way to see a daily/yearly view instead of the monthly view?
There's a daily view on mobile that you can access by tapping on any date in your calendar, or you can use our Timeline view, which allows you to display timescales from hours all the way to years!
