- To create an event from the Month view, click the + in the date box's corner.
- Enter a name for your event.
- Note: Timezones are shown locally to each user.

The Advanced tab gives you additional options for those you want to invite.
- Allow RSVPs: Slide the toggle on if you want people to indicate their interest in joining your event.
