Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

We just installed Big Sur on our iMacs. Now when we get calendar notifications, we only have an option that says "snooze", with no option to select how long we want to snooze it for. This is really annoying and much less helpful than before, when we had multiple options (1 hour, 1 day, etc.). Are we just missing something here? Is there a way around this? (Note: we've tried clicking and holding "snooze", but no options come up when we do that.) Sure would love some help with this. Thanks.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.0

It is a headache but there is a way ... not all intuitive, though. On the notification, hover the cursor/arrow above the Options button. The date will change to a >. Click on the >. Snooze options will pop up.

That said ... one of the things that has kept me as a Mac user for 30+ years is the intuitive interface. I know Apple can do better with this feature.

It is SO RIDICULOUS that Apple changes all these USEFUL features at random! They did same thing with Mail in Catalina by removing all the columns! Glad that was restored in Big Sur. I hope they restore these useful Snooze options ASAP in the next patch. I just cannot imaging who in the right mind would think of removing such features when it has been around for years!!

Unacceptable! Just found out at Mojave, that a Click and holding ist offers that, what I used in former versions and what changed to this behaviour.

I was lucky, because this is the only logical thing, to tell the system, if and when it should happen to remind me again.

The a jump to Big Sur (because of the purchase of an M1 Mac Mini)

WTF????

Why, why do apple want to rule their user in this unlogical way.

WE WANT OUR REMINDER OPTIONS BACK!


Unbelievable.

Yes, it's crazy to remove from an app the very feature that defines it.


(I use my Calendar to keep track of appointments and as a way of reminding myself what I need to do and when. If I can't manage my notifications, then my calendar is just a map of the days in the year with some markers of what's coming up. I would actually get better support from a wall calendar.)


So anyone have suggestions on what apps make a good replacement for the native Calendar?
