# Calendar

The Calendar view arranges your entries in a monthly or yearly calendar in the main content area of the window. To switch to the Calendar view, use the View menu's View mode item or use the toolbar item for View mode. MacJournal will use whatever journal is currently selected initially and show those entries. To change what is shown, either select a different journal in the Sidebar or use the pop-up at the bottom to select a journal. When you select a different journal in the pop-up, you can keep the timeline the same when selecting other journals or entries in the sidebar.

MacJournal can show a single month at a time or a full year. Switch between the two modes at the bottom. When showing a month, more than one entry per day can show up. Selecting an entry in a day is just like selecting it in the Sidebar. You can use the Inspector to look at the metadata for an entry by selecting it there. If you want to view the contents of the entry, either switch the View mode back or double-click the entry to open a new window for it.

In the year mode, MacJournal draws a circle around days that have entries on them. If you click and hold on a day, MacJournal will show a list of entries for that day. If there is only one entry for that day, you can click it to select that entry.
