Connect a SharePoint calendar to the Outlook client

To connect a SharePoint calendar to the Outlook client, follow these steps:
1. Go to your team site calendar in the browser.
2. Click Connect to Outlook from the Calendar tab on the Ribbon, as shown in
Figure 13.31. An Internet Explorer prompt appears, asking to allow the opening of
Outlook.
3. Click Allow. A Microsoft Office Outlook dialog box prompts you to connect only to
Sources you can trust.
4. Click Yes.
5. Open Outlook to your calendar view and notice a new calendar under other

Calendars in the left side task pane. Also, notice the calendars show up side by side.
You can now do useful activities like copy calendar items from one calendar to another. 

For Example, in my SharePoint calendar I have a recurring management meeting every Monday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. By simply clicking on the appointment and dragging it to the same day on my Outlook calendar, the appointment with its recurrence properties is copied over.
