    Can you go back to the old version after enabling the new version?

    Hi Thomas, yes you can currently switch the new version on and off under the admin tab. There are already people using it in production so feel free to try it, we've been holding off making a lot of noise about it to allow for a more gradual uptake.

    Hi Peter,

    Is there the possibility to erase a planned event in the Calendar app?

    Before there was an option to delete the event. Can't find it now.

    Thanks!
