How can I see Blueprint's Med School Study Planner tasks in my personal calendar?
Seeing your study schedule with your favorite calendar app is easy. Once you have added your study plan to your calendar, you will see all of your assignments in your calendar app.
1. Go to the Edit Schedule page
2. Click Add to Calendar (on the top right of the settings page)
3. In the Add to Calendar popup, choose which study plans you'd like to see events from on your calendar by selecting the checkboxes to the left of each study plan name. If you are a tutoring student, you can also choose the plan named Tutoring to see all scheduled sessions with your tutor.
4. In the Add to Calendar popup, copy the URL provided. There will be one URL for all study plans selected.
5. Open a calendar application of your choice, paste the URL as a new subscription and subscribe. Choose the settings you want, and save.
That’s it! Now you’ll see all of your study plan assignments in your calendar application. You won’t be able to make changes to your study plan through your third-party calendar application, but when you make changes to your study plan, you will see those changes reflected in your calendar application as soon as it refreshes. Please note, it can take several minutes for all assignments to populate in your calendar app.
Any changes you make in your calendar application will get overwritten when your study plan syncs. So, always use Blueprint's Med School Study Planner to move assignments around, not your calendar application.

Important Notes
Making changes to your Schedule
The changes you make to your study plan will sync to your personal calendar, but not vice versa. If you wish to change the events, make the changes in Blueprint's Med School Study Planner only and then let the syncing process complete.
