[Virto Calendar App for SharePoint and Microsoft Teams](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-calendar-overlay-app/) now saves your selected categories automatically across sessions. This small update enhances user experience by remembering filter preferences, like those shown in the color-coded category panel. No more resetting filters every time.

## Why This Matters

Users often switch between category views to focus on specific events, such as Blue for projects or Green for meetings. Previously, selections reset on reload; now, they persist per user, reducing clicks and boosting efficiency in busy SharePoint or Teams environments. This aligns with Virto Calendar's core strength in customizable, color-coded overlays from SharePoint lists, Outlook, and more.

### **The only M365 enterprise calendar**

... that never leaves your cloud.

Data stays in your Azure, under your control.

### Benefits for Teams
