10. Under Sync settings you can make to changes to the synchronization settings, such as the synchronization interval (how often the SOGo calendar should be updated) and the time period the synchronization should cover (e.g. the past and future 6 months - the amount is specified in days).

11. You have now integrated your fully-functioning (readable and writeable) SOGo calendar in Outlook. If you create a new entry, this will not actually be added to the SOGo calendar until the next synchronization interval. However, you always have the option of updating the calendar manually via the Synchronize now function in the CalDav Synchronizer tab.
