# Do public holidays apply to all participants in the calendar?

Yes. Once configured, public holidays are displayed for everyone using that calendar.

# Can I add custom holidays that are not in the predefined list?

Currently, only the predefined country/region holiday sets are available. To mark additional days (e.g., company holidays), you can create an all-day event manually.

# If I change the country, will it remove my previously selected holidays?

Yes. Switching the country updates the holiday set to match the new selection, replacing the old one.

# Can I display multiple countriesโ€™ public holidays at the same time?

No. Only one country/region ๐ŸŒ holiday set can be active at a time in a calendar. If your team spans several countries, you can either:

  1. Create all-day events for extra holidays, or

  2. Duplicate the calendar for each region.

# Do public holidays automatically update each year?

Yes. Public holiday lists are maintained and automatically refresh every year ๐Ÿ”„. No manual update is needed.
