# Calendar view

> See tasks on a calendar to track deadlines, spot conflicts, and plan your week.

Calendar view shows tasks plotted on a calendar based on their due dates and start dates. It's the fastest way to see what's coming up, identify days that are overloaded, and reschedule work before issues arise.

## Switch between layouts

Toggle between **month** and **week** modes:

* **Month:** a bird's-eye view of the full period, great for planning and deadline awareness
* **Week:** a focused view of the days immediately ahead, great for daily planning

## Reschedule by dragging

Drag a task to a new date on the calendar to update its due date instantly, without opening the task.

## Click to view summary

Click any task on the calendar to open its summary view.

## Google Calendar integration

If you connect your Google Calendar account, your Google Calendar events appear alongside your Arca tasks in the same calendar. This gives you a single place to see both meetings and work without switching apps.

To connect, go to **Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar** and follow the authorization steps. Once connected, events are shown automatically in every calendar view.

## Get the most from calendar view

* **Assign due dates to all tasks:** tasks without dates won't appear on the calendar.
* **Spot overloaded days early:** if too many tasks land on the same day, drag some to adjoining days during planning.
* **Filter by person:** add an assignee filter to review one teammate's upcoming deadlines or check your own.

<Tip>
  Create a saved calendar view filtered to your name; it becomes your personal
  planning dashboard for the week.
