Outlook Calendar Drag/Drop not working
We utilize the Monthly Enterprise Channel. Some users serve as assistants to VIPs and manage multiple calendars with Editor permissions. Previously, these users could drag and drop calendar invites between calendars, but it seems that functionality has ceased since enabling the 'Shared Calendar Improvement' feature. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to restore this function by making any changes?

Remove and Re-add the Calendar:
After disabling the 'Shared Calendar Improvements' feature, attempt to remove and then re-add the calendar. I tried everything and the only thing that will solve the issue of dragging and dropping items in the calendar is if I uncheck the USE CACHED EXCHANGED MODE TO DOWNLOAD EMAIL TO AM OUTLOOK DATE FILE. My important question is. Do I have to have this check? Please let me know. Thanks
LeonPavesic Thank you for your reply. What you are making sense. All these issues started after implementing 'Shared Calendar Improvement' feature. I will check if I can revert it and drag/drop is working. Will keep you posted. Thanks again
