This update isn’t just about giving Calendar a fresh coat of paint, there are also a number of feature updates here that’ll make using the service a bit easier. If you work in a large company, then Calendar can now show you more details about your organization’s meeting rooms, for example (where it is, what AV equipment is there, etc.), after your admins put this info into the system. Google Calendar invites can now also include rich formatting and links to relevant spreadsheets, documents and presentations. Ideally, this means you have all the info you need for a productive meeting (as if there were such a thing…) in one place. Another new feature is the side-by-side “Day” view that allows you to view and manage calendars in separate columns without having to scroll. I don’t think that’s something most users will ever need, but Google argues that it’s great for employees who manage multiple calendars, including administrative assistants, to schedule meetings for the whole team.
