Select PAM to show PAM events in your Outlook Calendar view.
Unselect PAM to hide PAM events.
📝 Note: PAM events may take up to 15 minutes to load in Outlook Calendar (depending on the number of events you have). PAM events in Outlook Calendar are view-only, so you can’t edit them directly from Outlook. This prevents accidental changes.
Common questions:
Can I edit my Outlook Calendar events in PAM?
No. Outlook Calendar events in PAM are view-only. This prevents accidental changes to meetings or events in your Outlook Calendar.
If you need to edit an Outlook Calendar event, open it directly in Outlook Calendar. A link to the original Outlook event is included in the event details in PAM for quick access.
