Frequently Asked Questions¶

Q: Can I synchronize multiple Noswork calendars simultaneously?
A: Yes, you can repeat the configuration process for each calendar you wish to synchronize.

Q: Will changes I make in Thunderbird automatically synchronize with Noswork?
A: Yes, synchronization is bidirectional. Changes made on either platform will be reflected on the other during the next synchronization.

Q: How can I share a synchronized calendar with my team?
A: Sharing must be managed from Noswork. Once permissions are configured there, each team member will need to set up synchronization in their own Thunderbird.

Q: What happens if I lose internet connection?
A: Thunderbird stores a local copy of your calendar. You'll be able to view existing events and create new ones, which will synchronize when the connection is restored.

Q: What should I do if I have problems during synchronization?
A: Verify that the CalDAV URL is correct, your credentials are valid, and you have a stable internet connection. If the problem persists, try removing and re-adding the calendar.

Q: Can I access my synchronized calendars from different devices?
A: Yes, calendars synchronized via CalDAV will be available on all devices where you have configured synchronization with the same credentials.
