-Draft: Your event will be saved but not visible to your users.
-Not published: Your event will be saved but not visible to your users. This status can be useful to inform your team members that an article must be reviewed before publication, for example.

Settings of the Calendar section
To edit the settings of your Calendar page, refer to this online help: Settings of the pages .
IMPORTANT
The time zone of reference for your events is the one you set in your profile (My profile > My account).
From this time zone, your app will update the event times depending on where the telephone / computer of your users is.
Example:
You set at 11am an event with (UTC +1) Paris France time zone as a reference for the admin creating the event.
Your app will "transform" that time to whatever time it is, in the time zone the device using the app is:
- Users in New York, New York, USA (UTC -5): will see the event at 5am
- Users in Tokyo, Japan (UTC +9): will see the event at 7pm
