.. note:: Calendar shares currently cannot be accepted or rejected. If you want to stop having a calendar that someone shared with you, you can click on the 3-dot menu next to the calendar in the calendar list and click on "Unshare from me". To restore a share, the calendar can be reshared again, either for the whole group, resetting all unshares, or for a single user.

Federated calendar sharing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. versionadded:: 32.0.0
.. versionchanged:: 33.0.0 Federated calendar shares support read/write access.

Sharing a calendar with a user on another Nextcloud instance works just like sharing with a local user.
The difference is that you need to use the federated user identifier as the recipient, which has the format
``<username>@<instance>`` (e.g. ``alice@cloud.example.com``).

Starting with Nextcloud 33, federated shares support full read/write access, allowing remote users to
create, edit, and delete events in the shared calendar. In Nextcloud 32, federated shares were read-only.
