Calendar Displays FAQ

1. How can I re-add the calendar I accidentally deleted from Motion?

  • To restore your deleted calendar, click + Add calendar in Motion and reconnect your primary calendar. In most cases, this will bring your calendar back without issue. If it doesn’t work, reach out to our support team, and we’ll manually reset your account for you.

2. I can see my completed tasks in Motion, but why can't I see them on my Google/Outlook calendar?

  • Completed tasks don’t sync to external calendars — Motion only syncs active, auto-scheduled tasks. To review your completed work, head directly to Motion, where you can track both active and finished tasks in one place.

3. Why are tasks from the next stage of my project being scheduled even though I haven’t finished the current stage?

  • We call these tasks in future stages ghost tasks. They appear on your calendar to give you visibility into how the project will progress across all stages (from Stage 1 through Stage X). This helps you plan ahead, anticipate workload, and see whether your overall project timeline is realistic.

4. How do I hide tasks in future stages?

  • It’s simple! Just click the ‘Display options’ button at the top of your calendar and toggle off the ‘Hide tasks in future stages’ option. When the toggle is blue, it's enabled; when it’s grey, it’s disabled.

  • By hiding tasks in future stages you are effectively removing their visibility from the calendar. So while it may appear there is blank space on your calendar, keep in mind, these tasks still exist and occupy space on your calendar. These future tasks just won't be visible until the toggle is turned back off.

5. I unselected/unchecked my teammate's calendar in the Calendar List, but why is it showing up again?

  • Please reach out to our support team for further assistance. Our team will be happy to help!
