# How to delete an assignment

**For:** Manager
**You'll need:** A shift with at least one assignment.

Remove a person from a shift without affecting the shift itself.

## Delete the assignment

1. Open the shift edit page.
2. In the **'Assigned'** list, click the **'Delete'** button on the row.
3. Confirm in the dialog.

## Verify it worked

The person disappears from the shift's assignment list; the shift still exists, just with one fewer person on it.

```{tip}
Quicker: open the person dropdown on the shift block (the **'+'** button) and click the assigned person's already-checked name to unassign — see {doc}`/plan-schedules/shift-calendar/quick-assign-from-a-shift-block`.
```
