How to extend a series of events

Every recurring series has an end date, and sooner or later it arrives. When it does, there’s no need to rebuild the event from scratch: a single task extends the series with fresh dates.

Extending a series

1. Log in to your web office, select the group that holds the series and open the Events tab.
2. Open any event in the recurring series.
3. Click the ‘Tasks’ button and choose ‘Extend this series of events’.
4. Set the recurrence options for the new run of events: when they start, how often they repeat and when the extended series should now end.
5. Confirm, and the new events are added to your calendar.

Good to know

• Only a series can be extended. A standalone event has nothing to extend, so if you want to repeat one, hover over a date in the calendar and use the orange ‘Add Event’ icon to create a new event from it as a template, ticking the recurring option this time.
• The Series tab on any event in the series lists every event in it, which is a quick way to review what you’ve got before and after extending.
• Extending at the end of each term or year is a good rhythm: it doubles as a prompt to check the times, location and details are still right.
