Right now if we need to change our classes in anyway we have to individually delete or individually edit each class in our calendar.  This is a huge waste of time.  There needs to options to bulk delete and bulk edit meetings/classes.

Is this idea coming from a teacher or student perspective?

@jminkus  Thank you for clarifying that. Are you seeking the functionality described in Calendar Series?

As an instructor of classes that span several weeks, it would be very convenient and efficient if educators could mass delete and mass edit events.  It is very tedious to go to each event individually to edit or delete it.

@jminkus  We've evaluated this idea and after comparing it with Calendar Series, we've determined that it is requesting something different. While Calendar Series requests the ability to delete a recurring event in one action, this idea requests the ability to bulk-edit or delete all events from a teacher's calendar, even if those events weren't created as part of a series. We've moved it forward for further discussion accordingly.
