# How to navigate the calendar

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** Nothing.

Move forward or back through the schedule, or jump straight to today.

## Move week or month at a time

1. In the calendar toolbar, click **'>'** to advance one period.
2. Click **'<'** to go back one period.

The period length follows the active view — month view jumps a month, week view jumps a week, day view jumps a day.

## Use the keyboard

1. Click anywhere on the calendar (not inside a text field).
2. Press **'→'** to advance one period.
3. Press **'←'** to go back one period.

## Jump to today

1. Click **'Today'** in the toolbar.

The calendar centres on the current date.

## Verify it worked

The date range shown in the toolbar header changes to match the new period.
