# Share your calendar with others

With a shared sharing, another person sees your availability — without getting access to your calendar. They receive an invitation, choose their own target calendar, and can end the sharing on their side at any time.

## Creating and sending a sharing

The full setup walkthrough is in [Create your first sharing](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/getting-started/first-sharing/) — the short version:

1. **"New sync"** → **"Share calendar"** → pick source calendars and a [visibility level](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/sync/visibility-levels/).
2. In the last step, send the invitation: **copy the link** and send it yourself (messenger, email) — or enter the email address and Kalender Sync sends the invitation directly.

The receiving side gets **exactly one email** — no further ones unless they sign up.

## The invitation

- The link is valid for **7 days** and can be used **once**.
- While acceptance is pending, the dashboard shows the sharing as **"Pending"** — there you can **copy the invite link again** any time and resend it.
- **Link expired?** End the sharing and recreate it — that generates a fresh link and takes under a minute.

What the receiving side sees and decides when accepting (choose a target calendar or have one created) is covered from their perspective in [I received an invitation](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/getting-started/received-invite/) — that link is also handy to forward.

## After acceptance

- The status switches to **"Active"** and the initial sync starts (email once it's done).
- From then on, changes flow automatically — [how sync works](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/sync/how-it-works/).
- The receiving side only sees what your [visibility level](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/sync/visibility-levels/) allows — attendee data never.

## Managing

- You can **pause / end** any time from the dashboard — ending cleans up all blockers on the receiving side ([details](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/sharings/pause-end/)).
- The **receiving side** can also end the sharing for themselves at any time (under "Shared with me").
- Changing visibility, placeholder title or sources: via the three-dot menu → **“Edit”** ([Edit a sharing](https://docs.kalender-sync.de/en/sync/freigabe-bearbeiten/)). Only the target calendar stays fixed — it belongs to the recipient.
