<a name="change-calendar-events"></a>

After you create a calendar in Amazon Systems Manager Change Calendar, you can create, update, and delete events that are included in your open or closed calendar. Change Calendar is a tool in Amazon Systems Manager.

**Tip**  
As an alternative to creating events directly in the Systems Manager console, you can import an iCalendar (`.ics`) file from a supported third-party calendar application. For information, see [Importing and managing events from third-party calendars](third-party-events.md).
