How to Restore a Missing Shared Calendar in Microsoft Bookings
Question details
The user needs to recover a Microsoft Bookings shared calendar that disappeared from the visible list after an unfamiliar user was removed from its access permissions.
- Product
- Microsoft Bookings
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing user access and permissions for a shared booking page in Microsoft 365.
- Observed behavior
- The shared booking page appears to be deleted or goes missing from the shared-page list, resulting in a loss of accessibility for the remaining users.
Make sure you have Microsoft 365 administrative privileges or sufficient owner permissions in Microsoft Bookings to search for hidden pages and modify access lists.
Search and Restore Access to the Shared Booking Page
Use the built-in search functionality in the shared booking page section to locate the hidden calendar and reinstate proper user access.
When an account associated with a Bookings page is removed, the page itself is often not deleted but simply hidden due to missing permissions. Searching for the exact name can bypass the standard list view and allow you to reconfigure the access rights.
Open Microsoft Bookings and go to the shared booking pages section from your main dashboard.
Click on the search bar and type the exact name of the missing booking page.
Once the page appears in the search results, click on it to access its settings. Re-add your required user accounts to the access list and assign them the necessary permissions.
After restoring access, check the page's services, schedules, and staff assignments to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
Looking for a reliable Office alternative? Try WPS Office

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my shared booking page disappear?
A shared booking page typically disappears from your visible list if a required user or routing account is removed from its access list, causing the page to lose its active permissions and hide itself.
Is a missing Microsoft Bookings calendar permanently deleted?
Not necessarily. In most cases, the calendar still exists but is hidden due to lost access permissions. You can usually find it by searching for its exact name within the shared booking pages section.
How can I prevent my booking pages from hiding in the future?
Avoid deleting unfamiliar users or system-generated accounts associated with the shared page without first confirming their roles. These accounts often control the page's routing and visibility permissions.
