Good morning,
Does anyone have an idea as to how log it takes a calendar subscription to update for the one way sync? I found the answer as to how to go in and update my subscription to my new unit (I have an out of unit calling), but when I try to preform the one way sync, it still shows my old unit's calendar information. In the far left pane I have unchecked the calendars from my last unit and have checked all of the calendars from my new unit.
Thanks!

Re: Syncing Calendars
Are you trying to sync to the LDS Tools app, or to a third-party calendar like Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.? If you're syncing to a third-party calendar:
First, make sure you've used the toggle to subscribe/unsubscribe, and not just the temporarily show/hide checkbox. You can see the option to subscribe or unsubscribe by clicking the double chevron (>>) button at the top of the side panel.
Next, go to Settings (gear icon in the upper right) > Sync. You'll need to click the button to generate a new sync URL.
Finally, copy the new URL to your calendar program.
The calendar sync service limits how often you can sync – it will only check for updates every 9 minutes, if I remember correctly.

Re: Syncing Calendars
I think it's immediate, but you can only use the URL every 9 minutes. Changing the URL will not change that. If you try to pull data in less than 9 minutes, you'll get empty data.
In addition, I've found that Google updates when it feels like it - about once every 24 hours. Deleting and re-entering the same URL just pulls from Google's cache and doesn't re-read the data.
