How to edit a recurring shift#
For: Manager You’ll need: A recurring shift.
When you save changes to a recurring shift, Shiftavo asks how far the change should reach — just ‘This’ occurrence, this and all ‘Following’ ones, or ‘All’ occurrences in the series.
Open the shift#
Click any occurrence in the series — from the calendar or the Shift list.
Tap Shifts in the bottom bar and tap any occurrence in the series.
The detail marks it — Part of a recurring series, with an Edit parent shift link when you need the pattern itself.
Tap Edit in the top bar (managers only).
Make your changes and save#
Edit any field.
Click ‘Save’ — the scope chooser modal opens.
Change any field.
Tap Save in the top bar (Done on iOS) — the Apply changes to sheet opens.
On an occurrence the repeat settings are locked; open the parent shift to change the pattern.
Choose the scope#
- This
Only this occurrence is changed. The series’s pattern is untouched, and this occurrence is now an exception.
- Following
This occurrence and every later one are changed. The original series is split: the old series ends just before this date, and a new series starts here with your edits.
- All
The entire series is regenerated from your edits. Per-occurrence exceptions you previously set with ‘This’ are preserved.
Click your choice.
In the Apply changes to sheet, tap This occurrence only, This and following, or Entire series — the same three scopes, under mobile names.
If you also moved the start date and picked This and following or Entire series, a second sheet asks how the date change should apply — see How to change the date of a recurring shift.
Verify it worked#
A success toast confirms the change. Open neighbouring occurrences to confirm the scope behaved as you picked.
