# Use Month View on desktop

> See the month at a glance, then open a week for details.

Open **Calendar** in a desktop browser or a window wide enough to show **Month View**.

1. Choose the **Month View** tab.
2. Use the left and right arrows beside the month heading to navigate months.
3. Review daily shift times and hours, and the Monday–Sunday total beneath each calendar row.
4. Select a day to switch to **Week View** for that day's week.

Parents can use the **+** control on a date to open **Add Calendar Entry**. To change an existing entry, select its day and [edit it from Week View](/schedule/edit-shift). Au pairs can navigate the calendar but cannot add or edit entries.

Days from the neighboring month appear dimmed. The month grid includes whole weeks, so a row's total can include dates outside the displayed month.

<Note>
  On mobile, only Week View is shown. Use a desktop browser for Month View.
