Review pending work
Section titled “Review pending work”Select Pending work to see tasks and approvals without a scheduled time. Select an item to open it. To plan time for a task, select Reserve time. This opens a new event for that task.

- It shows free time from the last time the calendars loaded. A calendar can change before you book.

Use the calendar without Google
