I don't understand Calendar syncing

Hello ! I don't undertand the functioning of calendar - Is it a bug ? Or ist it me ?

I regularly get calendar invites from my boss via email, which I click on so that they are added onto Calendar on my Mac Book Pro Sonoma 14.1 (and earlier). This works perfectly well - the invites show up on Calendar on my MacBook. What bothers me is that these additions aren't picked up by iCloud (although I asked calendar to sync), that is they aren't transferred to my other devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac Air).

If this is normal, can someone tell me how to transfer those invites ?? Thanks for your help, because this has been bothering me for ages.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.1

Hi !

Thanks for your answer. I think I got the "mystery" solved.

The precise calendar I'm talking about is linked to my Microsoft Exchange email account, and I understand now I need to install this email account on all the devices I want this precise calendar to show up on - that's clear now.

Thank you anyway !

The list of calendars on the left is divided into three categories: iCloud, On My Mac, and Others (and possibly Google, Yahoo!, etc.)

Are the invitations in a calendar belonging to the iCloud or the On My Mac category? I guess you know which one syncs and which one doesn't.
