# 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

::::{tab-set}
:sync-group: platform

:::{tab-item} Web
:sync: web

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

:::{tab-item} Mobile app
:sync: mobile

1. Tap **Shifts** in the bottom bar, tap the shift, then tap **Edit** in the top bar.
2. Scroll to **Assignments**.
3. On Android, tap **Remove** next to the person. On iOS, tap the person's row and tap **Remove** in the action sheet.

The removal applies immediately — you don't have to save the shift afterwards.

## 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`.
```
