4.2 Filtering entries ¶

There are several possibilities to choose which entries should be synced and which not:

If you only want to sync manually marked entries, use org-caldav-select-tags, which is directly mapped to org-export-select-tags, so see its doc-string on how it works.
If you want to exclude certain tags, use org-caldav-exclude-tags, which is mapped to org-icalendar-exclude tags.
If you want more fine grained control, use org-caldav-skip-conditions. The syntax of the conditions is described in the doc-string of org-agenda-skip-if.
In case you just want to keep your remote calendar clean, set org-caldav-days-in-past to the number of days you want to keep in the past on the remote calendar. This does not affect your org files, it works just as a filter for entries older than N days.

Note however that the normal org-agenda-skip-function(-global) will not have any effect on the icalendar exporter (this used to be the case, but changed with the new exporters).
