How do I edit a shift? (Desktop)

Modified on Fri, 17 Nov 2023 at 04:54 PM

It's funny how shifts can have a way of changing requirements from minute to minute. Don't panic though, you've got this.


  1. Head over to the scheduling page by clicking on the 'Scheduling' calendar icon on the left of your screen. You'll default to the week view, but you can change view if you want to.
  2. Find the shift that you want to edit, using the calendar picker at the top of the screen if the right day isn't displaying, and click on it. Choose 'Edit Shift' from the dropdown. 
  3. Enter the new details into any fields that you want to change and leave the others alone - they'll stay the same unless you edit them.
  4. Once you've finished making your changes you'll just need to save. If the shift you're editing has already been published you'll just see a 'Save' button - click that and you're done. If the shift hasn't yet been published then you can choose whether to publish or not. Click 'Save' if you aren't ready for employees to see the new shift, or 'Save & Publish' if you're happy to share it.
