Import an ICS file
Open Settings → Calendars → Import & Export and choose Import. Select an .ics file, then review the preview before writing anything.
Choose the destination calendar and inspect duplicate warnings. InstaCal compares imported records with existing events and lets you skip duplicates rather than blindly adding every row.
Confirm only after the destination and item count are correct. Provider rules still apply: a read-only calendar cannot accept imports.
Export calendar data
Choose Export from the same area or from a supported share action. Select the visible items or range and create an iCalendar file. The resulting .ics file can be opened by standard calendar apps.
Availability Sharing also offers a calendar-file format, but that file represents proposed open times rather than exporting the underlying private events.
Print the visible calendar
On Mac, arrange the calendar window, choose the view and filters you want, then use Print. The printout reflects the visible event scope, so apply the correct Calendar Set or Smart Filter first.
Use the system print panel to save a PDF when you want a portable copy without sending an editable calendar file.
Warning: Exported and printed files leave InstaCal’s protected app container. Review them before sharing, especially when event notes or attendee information is included.
