6. Editing or deleting an entry

Last updated on Apr 28, 2026

Mistakes happen — wrong time, wrong category, accidentally hit save twice. You can edit or delete most daily entries you logged.

Who can edit

  • You — anyone can edit and delete their own entries.

  • Managers and Billing users — can edit or delete anyone's entries.

  • Other Staff and Guests — can't edit or delete entries that aren't theirs.

This way, audit integrity is preserved for accountability, while still letting people fix their own mistakes.

Editing an entry

On the web

  1. On the Daily page, look at the Recorded Today sidebar (or the section's entry list).

  2. Click the pencil icon next to the entry, or click the entry text itself.

  3. An edit modal opens.

  4. Change the type, time, or duration as needed.

  5. Click Save (or Update).

On mobile

  1. On the Track tab, find the entry in the section list.

  2. Tap the entry, then tap Edit.

  3. Update fields and tap Save.

Deleting an entry

On the web

Click the trash icon next to the entry, or open the edit modal and click Delete. A confirmation appears asking "Are you sure you want to remove this entry?" — confirm.

On mobile

Tap and hold the entry, or open it and tap Delete.

The entry disappears from the day's record. The audit log retains a record that it was deleted, who deleted it, and when.

What if the edit pencil isn't there?

A few possible reasons:

  • You're not the author. Only your own entries are editable, unless you're a Manager.

  • The day is "locked". Some organizations lock past days after a certain number of days to preserve a clean audit record. Ask your Manager.

  • The entry is part of a frozen workflow. For example, a submitted Incident Report can't have its underlying entries edited; you'd need to amend the IR instead.

Audit trail

Every edit and delete is recorded:

  • Edits — the entry shows "Edited by [name] on [date and time]".

  • Deletes — the audit log retains "[Name] deleted [entry type] at [time]".

This means you can fix mistakes openly without worrying that the record looks tampered with.

Common mistakes and how to fix them

  • Logged the wrong behavior type. Edit and pick the right one. Don't delete and re-create — editing keeps the history clean.

  • Wrong time on an entry. Edit and adjust the time. The "Recorded Today" list reorders automatically.

  • Saved a duplicate. Delete one of them. Sometimes the + button gets clicked twice — it happens.

  • Logged on the wrong day. Delete and re-log on the correct date. There's no "move to another day" yet.

  • Need to change the date of an existing entry. You can't move an entry between days. Delete it and re-log on the right day. See Backdating entries.

Common questions

  • What happens if I edit an entry someone else commented on? — Their comment stays. You're only changing the underlying entry's type/time/duration.

  • Can I undo a delete? — No. Once confirmed, it's gone (although the audit log preserves a record). Be sure before confirming.

  • Will edits show up in the dashboard immediately? — Yes. Charts and audit log update on the next refresh.

  • Can managers see who edited what? — Yes, in the audit log. Edits and deletions are clearly attributed.
