  • Refresh the page if you just added the field
  • Check you have a calendar app installed
  • Try opening the file from your Downloads folder
  • On desktop, double-click the .ics file
  • The export uses your Peanuts timezone setting
  • Update timezone in Settings → Preferences
  • Your calendar app may also adjust for local time
