Keep Notes Section In Calendar Event
When making a calendar event in the current Outlook.com there is a section to add notes. This is missing in the Beta Calendar. Notes are visible in the Beta from entries made in the current Outlook.com Calendar but you are unable to edit them. I use the notes section to remind me of details about calendar events. The loss of this option would force me to use a different Calendar app/service.

Thank you for your feedback! The deployment for notes in a calendar event in the Outlook.com beta is now complete. If you refresh, you should be able to see the experience.

There is no place to add notes/description to a calendar entry. Ilike to be able to include speakers or items that are important to remember for a meeting/event.

Why is it that I cannot add new or edit existing notes for any appointment via the new "beta" web UI?

You need to add a "Notes Section" when making appointments. This is inconvenient that I cannot add phone numbers, notes about the meeting and other details. If this feature is there, please let me know how to access Notes

There needs to be the ability to add and later edit notes for the reminders.

This! ... and more besides, including:
• no categories / colour coding of events
• removal of options to schedule appointments at non-standard repeating patterns of, for example, ‘every 2 days’ or ’every 3 weeks’
• a reduction from 16 to 8 options of how far in advance to receive a reminder pop-up, in particular the removal of options such as 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours etc, which are very useful when you have to travel to an appointment.
• removal of the option to send email reminders to oneself in advance of appointments - very handy when away from the calendar but still able to check emails.
• Removal of the search function.

Notes seem inaccessible in beta calendar. Would switch to another calendar without this feature.

The beta is nice EXCEPT, I cant find/figure out how to add notes or edit existing notes on my calendar events. Please show me how though the help feature, or ensure that this functionality will be available when the final version is released and no longer beta.
