Calendar blocks allow you to display events and collection items in a calendar format across your site. They can showcase content from events, blog posts, products, albums, and gallery collections.

Events and collection items appear with their titles, excerpts, and featured images (when space permits). Hovering over items reveals their excerpts, and clicking dates opens the original item pages.

To add a calendar block:

1. Edit a page/post
2. Click "Add block" or select an insertion point
3. Choose "Calendar"
4. Click the pencil icon to edit
5. Select a collection page to display content

Key features:

• Shows current month by default

• Links directly to original content

Display requirements:

Responsive behavior:

• Only displays content from one collection page

For optimal display, add excerpts and featured images to collection items you want to show in calendar blocks.
