Fix SharePoint Calendar Events Disappearing After Enabling New Experience
Question details
Existing events disappear from a SharePoint calendar after enabling the modern experience.
- Product
- SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Upgrading or switching a SharePoint calendar view to the new (modern) experience.
- Observed behavior
- Older existing events vanish from the calendar view, while newly created events remain visible. Reverting the layout does not automatically restore them.
Ensure you have the necessary site owner or administrator permissions to modify list settings in your SharePoint environment.
Disable Group Calendar Options in List Settings
Disabling the Group Calendar options in the classic list settings is the most effective way to restore missing events and calendar overlays.
Modern SharePoint layouts do not always fully support classic calendar functions. The 'Group Calendar Options' setting can inadvertently hide older events and overlays when the calendar experience is updated.
Access your SharePoint calendar and navigate to the classic view. Click the 'Settings' gear icon and select 'List settings'.
Under the General Settings column, click on 'List name, description and navigation'.
Locate the 'Group Calendar Options' section and set the toggle or radio button to 'No'.
Click 'Save' at the bottom of the page to apply your settings and return to the calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do SharePoint calendar events disappear in the modern experience?
The modern SharePoint layout lacks full support for certain classic calendar features, causing rendering conflicts with legacy settings like Group Calendar Options.
Will changing the calendar back to the classic experience restore my events?
Reverting the experience setting alone often does not restore older events. You typically must manually disable the Group Calendar Options in the list settings to fix the issue.
Does disabling Group Calendar Options affect new calendar events?
No, disabling this option restores visibility for your older events and overlays without negatively impacting the display or creation of newly added events.
