# What a copied event shows

> A copied event carries the source calendar's name instead of the real title, with no description or location. What decides that, and how to exclude events.

A copied event shows the name of the calendar it came from in place of the real title, and no description or location. That is the default on every plan. Two sections on the calendar the events come from decide it: **Sync Settings** for what each copy says, and **Exclusions** for which events are copied at all.

Both apply to every calendar those events are sent to. Both are Pro features — on Free the defaults hold, and the dashboard says so where the settings would be.

## Sync Settings

**Sync Event Name** decides whether the real title travels. It starts off, so copies carry a stand-in title until you turn it on.

**Event Name** sets that stand-in, and starts out as `{{calendar_name}}`. Two templates work: `{{event_name}}` for the real title and `{{calendar_name}}` for the name of the calendar the event came from. Plain text works too — "Busy" is a fine answer. `{{calendar_name}}` earns its keep when copies from several calendars land in one place.

**Sync Event Description** and **Sync Event Location** do the same job for the meeting notes and the address.

On a calendar subscribed from a link, one extra toggle appears. Some events cover a whole day but are stored with times, and **Sync Full-Day Events as All-Day** makes their copies real all-day events.

## Exclusions

Exclusions leave whole categories of event out of the copy:

- **Exclude All Day Events** — for the birthdays, holidays and all-day markers that clutter a work calendar
- **Exclude Focus Time Events** and **Exclude Out of Office Events** — on Google calendars, for the blocks Google creates as their own event types

An excluded event is not copied. Exclude a category later and its existing copies are removed too.

## What Free gets

Free uses the private defaults. Every copy is named after the calendar it came from. The notes and address stay behind on the original.

Pro makes those three settings editable, so you choose exactly what detail travels. A [shareable calendar link](https://www.keeper.sh/docs/shareable-calendar-links) applies the same idea to a link you hand out. Its events read "Busy" instead of carrying the calendar's name.
