About Sugar Calendar
Sugar Calendar stops being a second copy of your schedule, with two-way Google sync.
Sugar Calendar Events now syncs with a chosen Google calendar in either direction, or both, and adds Google Meet links to the event editor. Deleted Google events move to the Trash on the site rather than disappearing. Days earlier it added Gia AI, a chat that turns a sentence into a draft event, edits existing events and reports on registrations.
