h1. Viewing and Subscribing to RSS Feeds
When you subscribe to a news feed, Facility Scheduler sends you a summary of information about upcoming events, including the event name, date, time, primary location, description, and the link to event registration (if applicable).

h1. Posting RSS Feed Links to Your Web Site
To encourage your members to subscribe to your RSS feeds, we recommend posting the feed links on your Web site. While we can't instruct you in updating your own Web site, we can tell you how to copy the RSS feed links so that you can post them.
{expand:title=To copy an RSS feed link for a calendar}
# On the *Administration* tab, click *RSS Feeds*.
# Select the calendar.
# In the *Actions* group, click *Copy Link*.
You have copied the RSS link. Now, you can paste it directly into another document, such as a webpage. You may also want to [manually edit|#editlink|Editing RSS Feed Links] the RSS feed link.

h1. Editing RSS Feed Links
By default, when you change the name of a calendar, the RSS feed link does not change. This is handy if your members subscribe to or bookmark your RSS feeds: it prevents their subscriptions and bookmarks from breaking when you change the calendar name. However, you can manually edit the last section of the link (the part that is specific to the calendar) if you so desire.
{note:title=Changing the RSS Link Breaks All Current Subscriptions}
If you change an RSS link, everyone who currently subscribes to it must manually update their subscriptions. They have to add the new RSS link to their RSS readers.{note}
{expand:title=To edit the RSS feed link of a calendar}
# On the *Administration* tab, click *RSS Feeds*.
# Select the calendar you want to change the link of.
# In the *Actions* group, click *Edit Link*.
# In the *RSS Link* field, change the link name.
# Click *Save & Close*.
The RSS feed link of the calendar is updated.
