When you receive a time proposal, you'll be navigated to the event page, where you can view basic event details, review proposed times, and select or suggest times that work for you.
New and improved ✨ While anyone can receive and vote on a time proposal, Base users who receive a proposal can overlay their existing calendar events while viewing proposed times.
