Just in time for summer, WordCamp websites now include a cool personalized schedule tool! This tool allows attendees to: * mark a session as a favorite by clicking the *star* next to the session name, * print the schedule with your favorite sessions highlighted, * send an email with a list of all your favorite sessions, and * share a unique link to your favorite sessions (this can be used to share your personalized schedule with others, or share with yourself, between multiple devices).

Regarding the styling part – I think we should override default styles as this is sort of functionality that is on top of the regular WC website functionality. That being said, it would be great to leave organisers to style this part differently if they wish too (i.e. they want to provide a centralised experience for their WC). 4. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9cc64cf0f650f165ac55f1294105259f82f2b72c4c24903a79af6d6cd1ad2a9a? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Corey McKrill](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coreymckrill/) 11:02 pm _on_ June 7, 2018 * [@emanuel_blagonic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emanuel_blagonic/) I _think_ this is how it already works, though I haven’t personally tried to customize the UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with.

You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page.
