CHAPTER 2: Import, Export And Backup

Importing and Exporting Data from Calendar

Opus One is designed to sync automatically with Calendar. This is a two way
sync, events from Calendar will be appearing in Opus One and vice versa. You
can always choose to “hide” one or more calendars.
If opening Opus One for the first time, when prompted to give Opus One access to
your Calendars:
1. Select “Yes” for Opus to Sync with Calendar.
2. Select “No” to keep Opus One separate from Calendar.

not be able to create or edit events, still Opus One will run and you will be able to
use all the other features: Task Lists, Daily Notes, Goals, etc.
