Repeating Event Tips

  1. You can set an end date or limit the repetition to a certain number of occurrences.

  2. Look for additional settings that appear under the Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly options that allow you to customize your event.

  3. If your repeating event series doesn't end exactly on the date you've selected, the series will instead end on the closest date to the one you've selected without going past it.
