But one thing has also become clear: We are grateful for the past year. A lot has happened, new staff members have joined and we are happy to see how ChurchTools makes a difference. In this last release before Christmas, we&#8217;ve included a number of enhancements. From the calendar to the events module to the rights management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"feature\">Calendar improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The calendar has been improved in some places, so that the use is more understandable and new users can also start faster. I would like to introduce three changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With version 3.93 there is now a plus icon for adding new appointments. It is of course still possible to click directly into the calendar. With a dedicated button we make it easier for new users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In ChurchTools the current date and time is now printed on many print views. This is also the case when printing the calendar. This eliminates confusion about which sheet of paper is the most current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And last but not least: Birthday tooltips now also show the regular date of birth, as well as the age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"735\" data-id=\"1756\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar-1024x735.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar-1024x735.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar-768x551.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar-1536x1102.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/calendar.png 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1006\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"1757\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal.png 1006w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal-768x521.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/birthday_cal-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1006px) 100vw, 1006px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"852\" height=\"444\" data-id=\"1758\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign.png 852w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.church.tools\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/plus-sign-850x444.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"feature\">Subscribe to your own meeting requests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>A new feature in the Calendar module, which provides an improved overview in your own calendar, is the function to subscribe to calendars, with the option to consider only your own meeting requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are shared group calendars, in which many appointments are entered, often not all appointments are relevant for me.
