    Hi, Super helpfull tips!! Do you know if there is an option to move multiple calendar items at once? (For example "prepare swimming gear" "Drive to swimmingpool" "swimming" "Drive home", and if I want to swim a few hours later I have to move all those items 1 at the time, but I want to move them all together as a pack.). I hope you can help me with it.

      The people section in photos only lets you do one person at a time but you can totally make a smart album that has two or more people! If you go to File -> new smart album, then set the criteria that “people” include each person… hit the plus to add another criteria and keep adding the people. Then make sure to change it from “All” to “Any” in the little drop down.
