Real-time event syncing

Year Glance syncs with Google and Microsoft calendars. Most of the time, changes appear very quickly. Occasionally, there can be short delays.

This is normal and depends on how Google and Microsoft send updates to us.

• Google Calendar: usually just a few seconds
• Microsoft / Outlook / 365 Calendar: typically 1–3 minutes

In some cases:

• There may be a short delay
• An update may not arrive immediately
  
• A manual refresh may be needed
  
  

This behaviour is controlled by Google and Microsoft’s systems, not Year Glance.

If something looks out of date:

• Wait a minute or two
  
• Refresh your browser
  
• If needed, you may need to disconnect and reconnect your Google or Microsoft account.

How to force sync the calendars if it doesn't sync after a few minutes

• In Year Glance, select the Manual refresh button.
• In Outlook browser, refresh the browser.
• In Outlook app, try navigating to a different month and then back again.
  If that doesn't work, close the app and open it again.

Automatic refresh (paid plans)
Microsoft calendars don’t always sync in real time. To cover this, paid plans now refresh your events automatically while Year Glance is open and in focus.

• Team plans: every 15 minutes
• Solo plans: every 60 minutes

You no longer need to press the manual refresh button if a Microsoft event is slow to appear.

Manual refresh

To trigger a manual calendar sync in Year Glance, select the Refresh icon next to the last synced time near the top of the screen.

• Which calendar type you are using and what browser/app you use to view your native calendar
  
• What action you performed
  
• The time the change was made
