Learn about Meeting notes
  • When you add Meeting notes to an event, the changes don't appear in Google Calendar and vice versa. For example:
    • If you update a document's attendee list with new guests, the new guests aren't automatically invited to the event.
    • If you change the document’s title, the title doesn't change in Google Calendar.
    • If you change an event in Google Calendar, event details don't change in the Meeting notes.
  • You can’t add meeting notes to an event if:
    • You don’t have permission to edit the event.
    • Another person already attached meeting notes.
