Views
Outlook gives you the choice of using four different views to view your calendar. Open the Calendar object first to view your calendar and then click View | Change View and you will see the choices available for the Calendar views, which are as follows:
- Compact – My version (Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise) says Calendar instead of Compact
- Single – My version says List instead of Single
- Preview
- Active (New to Outlook 365 for 2021)
The default view is Compact. Unless you have changed this view, that is what you have been or will be using. You have the ability inside of Outlook to change views, modify, copy, and reset them. To change views, click View | Change View and select the view you want to see.
Occasionally, you may automatically end up in List view depending on what Outlook identified as being helpful. This would be the case after you search for an item in your calendar...
