Old Colors that pop out to you
All-Day events no longer pop out with the highlighted colors - those are my monthly reminders and recurring dates that NEED to stand out to me. If anything, the day-to-day appointments and schedule COULD be unhighlighted.

hope this helps!

You might enjoy the new Outlook experience more with a few changes to your settings, which you can find by clicking the gear icon. Try changing the setting for Conversation view to Off, changing the setting for Reading pane to Hide, and changing the setting for Attachment preview to Off.
We’re always interested in new ideas, but we need some more specific feedback to fix the problem for you. If you have more detailed suggestions, please update your idea or add a new one.

edit past calendar events and move events to edit
Consider adding back the ability to edit past calendar events and "moving" the past event to a new future date. This made it super easy to reschedule event that didn't happen or one in which you just want to keep moving forward.

I share a calendar across the family for each member, and I want to be able to put calendar entries on their calendar
I would like to create calendar entries on my kids calendars (like I can now with the old interface). I'm using Edge on Win 10, and I do not see a 'calendar' selection. This is required for me to use this calendar … please add this back!

Calender
Your new calendar does not allow users to manually change repetition dates. Now you can only choose ever day, every week, every month, or every year. I have items that occurring every two weeks I'd like to add to my calendar (or somethings every three weeks) but you offer no way to do that.
My suggestion is if you're trying to improve something... you add better functions, not take functions away from the old version. Seems like you're going backwards

Bring Calendar appointment scheduling tools into Beta
Allow the scheduling settings from the old Calendar to appear in the Beta, e.g. 'every 3 weeks' or 'every 2nd Thursday' are not possible in Beta;
Beta options are 'every day/week/month/year' and that's it. I have to switch back to the old system to do anything else e.g. a fortnightly appointment.

Erinnerung Termin
In the beta Version it is not possible to create a individual reminder for a meeting / apponintment. You just can set the reminder for some steps. In the normal Version you can set a reminder more individual. It would be helpful, when it is possible to get the choise for the reminder like now in the beta when you create the appointment with normal settings, and additional it would be very good if you can set the reminder mor exactly in the appointment.

Viewing Calendar Appointments
I want to see category colours as on the old calendar as this helps me to quickly identify the difference between essential and non essential appointments. I also want to be able to see all appointments scheduled in the weekly/monthly view, not just the first appointment input for a particular day. It's deceptive when only one appointment shows up.
