About This Feature

Overview

Import Calendar is a calendar import feature in WPS Office on Windows. It is designed to bring schedule data from an iCal file into a target calendar in one workflow, so you can migrate events and create multiple schedule items more efficiently.

Core capabilities include:

Import events from a file: choose a local iCal file or drag it into the import area.
Recognize common event details automatically: such as date, time, and subject.
Import into a target calendar: send recognized events to the selected calendar for later editing and management.

This workflow is useful for calendar migration, bulk event setup, and ongoing team or personal schedule management.

App version	The latest version of WPS Office or the WPS collaboration client is recommended
Network	A stable internet connection is recommended when importing and syncing calendar data

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports importing an iCal file into a WPS collaborative calendar, recognizes common event details such as date, time, and subject, and imports them into a selected target calendar.	Outlook supports importing .ics or .vcs files and also supports subscribing to internet calendars for updates.	Google Calendar supports importing ICS and CSV files on a computer and lets users choose the destination calendar.	Notion Calendar can connect existing calendar accounts and manage events, but its official help states that users cannot subscribe to a new calendar directly inside Notion Calendar.	Adobe official help covers file import in Adobe Express, but no native calendar .ics import workflow is shown in the official material used here.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps file selection, recognition, and target calendar import in one collaborative calendar workflow, which is practical for quick schedule migration.	Compared with WPS: Outlook also supports file import and adds internet calendar subscription.	Compared with WPS: Google Calendar supports ICS import, but the official instructions focus on a computer-based web workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on connected calendars and Notion databases than on direct iCal file import into a new calendar.	Compared with WPS: Adobe’s official guidance is centered on general file import rather than calendar event import.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to move existing iCal schedules into a collaborative calendar and continue managing them there, WPS provides a direct workflow. Microsoft and Google also provide import options, while the official Notion and Adobe materials referenced here focus more on connected calendars or general file import scenarios.
