### Share your calendar outside of GSA

Although you can't share access to all of your calendar events with people outside of GSA, you can share your free / busy times. You may find it useful to share this view with partners or with your personal accounts.

Start by clicking the three dots next to the calendar you would like to share, then click "settings and sharing."

88+
{% image_with_class "_img/tools/calendar-1.png" "border-05" "popup that displays when three dots are clicked next to a specific calendar. Options are display this only, settings and sharings, and available colors" %}

Find "access permissions for events." If you would like to share a calendar link with partners, you will need to check "make available to public" with the "see only free/busy (hide details)" option selected, then copy the shareable link. Open it in a private browser tab or while logged out to view what it looks like for people outside the GSA.

If you would like to add your work calendar to your personal calendar, scroll down to "Share with specific people or groups." Enter your email account and "see only free/busy (hide details)".
