Google Calendar move event to another calendar

Outlook supports the use of multiple calendars, each with its own color scheme, to let you keep separate schedules for different clients, projects or teams. The software offers a great deal of flexibility when it comes to viewing and managing these calendars: you can have several calendars up on screen at once for comparison purposes, and quickly copy and move appointments from one calendar to another when necessary. Appointments keep the same date, time and other properties when moved between calendars.
