+<title>Using time zones</title>
+
+<p>Evolution supports using multiple time zones.</p>
+
+<section id="default-timezone">
+<title>Setting your global timezone(s)</title>
+
+<p>By default Evolution uses the system-wide time zone. This can be changed under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Calendar and Tasks</gui><gui>General</gui><gui>Time</gui><gui>Time zone</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+
+<p>If you deal a lot with people in another specific time zone you can display that second time zone in the day view of the calendar. You can set a second time zone under <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Calendar and Tasks</gui><gui>General</gui><gui>Time</gui><gui>Second zone</gui></guiseq>.</p>

+<section id="appointment-timezone">
+<title>Setting a timezone for an appointment</title>
+
+<p>You can also configure time zone information specific to each appointment. To do that, <link xref="calendar-usage">add a new or edit an existing appointment</link> and click the globe button to customize the time zone that the time exists in. For example, if you live in New York but have a telephone meeting set for noon with someone in California, you need to make sure that your schedules are coordinated. Setting time zones on a per-appointment basis helps avoid that potential confusion.</p>
