  4. Export the selected range for your team: Once a range is highlighted, use ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link to send the schedule out. This is especially useful for distributed teams in manufacturing, IT, and trading, where everyone needs the same meeting time to appear correctly in their own calendar.
