+## Overview
+
+Cal.com publishes your availability as a booking page. Visitors pick a time that suits them, and the meeting lands in your calendar automatically, with a video link if needed.
+
+Main capabilities:
+
+- **Event types** such as "30-minute intro call" or "1-hour consultation", each with its own length, location, questions, and rules.
+- **Calendar connections** so existing events block out busy times and new bookings are added to your calendar.
+- **Availability schedules** with working hours, date overrides, and time zones handled automatically.
+- **Buffers**, minimum notice, daily limits, and booking windows.
+- **Team scheduling**: round-robin (spread bookings across a team) and collective (everyone must be free).
+- **Workflows** for email reminders and follow-ups.
+- **Routing forms** that send visitors to the right person or event based on their answers.
+- **Embeds** for your website and a booking link for your email signature.
+
+### What it replaces
+
+Cal.com replaces Calendly, Microsoft Bookings, Acuity Scheduling, and the scheduling part of Doodle.
+
+{{< note title="Self-hosted edition" >}}
+Cal.com's self-hosted edition includes most features. A few organization-level features in Cal.com's documentation are only available in their paid cloud or enterprise plans.

+
+## Signing in
+
+Open your Cal.com address and sign in with the account created for you. Complete the onboarding steps: your name, username (which becomes your booking link), time zone, and calendar connection.
+
+## Connect your calendar
+
+1. Go to **Apps**, then **Calendar**, or **Settings**, **Calendars**.
+2. Connect your calendar:
+   - **Nextcloud** (or any CalDAV calendar): choose **CalDAV** and enter `https://nextcloud.example.com/remote.php/dav` with your username and a Nextcloud **app password**.
+   - **Google** or **Outlook**: available if your administrator has set them up. These need extra configuration on the server.
+3. Choose which calendars to **check for conflicts**, and which calendar new bookings are **added to**.
+
+## Set your availability
+
+Go to **Availability**. Edit the default schedule to set your working hours for each day, and add **date overrides** for holidays or special days. You can create several schedules (for example "Mornings only") and pick one per event type.
+
+## Create an event type
+
+1. Go to **Event Types** and choose **New**.
+2. Give it a title, URL slug, and duration.
+3. Under **Location**, choose how you'll meet: in person, phone, or a video link. To use [Jitsi](/apps/jitsi/), install the Jitsi app from **Apps** and set your Jitsi server address.
+4. Under **Limits**, add buffer time, minimum notice, and booking limits.
+5. Under **Advanced**, add booking questions, require confirmation, or hide the event from your profile.
+6. Save, then copy the link. Your booking page is `https://calcom.example.com/yourusername`.
+
+## Manage bookings
+
+**Bookings** shows upcoming, unconfirmed, past, and cancelled bookings. From here you can reschedule, cancel, or request a reschedule. Attendees get emails with links to reschedule or cancel too.
+
+## Add reminders with workflows
+
+Go to **Workflows**, create a workflow, choose a trigger (for example "Before event starts, 24 hours"), and add an email action to attendees or hosts. Attach it to one or more event types.
+
+## Teams
+
+Create a team under **Teams** and invite members. Team event types can be:
+
+- **Round robin**: the next available team member is assigned.
+- **Collective**: the booking needs everyone to be free.
+
+## Superpanel settings
+
+{{< review "confirm Superpanel option names for Cal.com and whether Google/Microsoft calendar integrations are preconfigured." >}}
+
+- **Access**: choose which groups are given a Cal.com account.
+- **Calendar integrations**: Google and Microsoft calendar connections need API credentials on the server. Ask Federated Computer support if you want them enabled.
+
+Cal.com administrators can open **Settings**, **Admin** to manage users and instance-wide settings.
