Real life happens. A doctor calls in sick, an emergency comes up, or you simply want to swap a couple of assignments around. PlanMyRounds has a manual edit mode for exactly these moments — you don’t need to regenerate the whole roster.Documentation Index

Open the edit view
The edit view shows a calendar with drag-and-drop. Doctors are listed in a panel on the left — drag any name onto a shift cell to assign them.
Make changes
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Reassign a doctor | Drag a doctor from the side panel onto a shift cell on the calendar. |
| Remove an assignment | Select the X on an existing assignment chip. |
| Add a doctor to the roster | Use Add Doctor to bring in someone who wasn’t part of the original plan. |
Watch for conflicts
As you make changes, PlanMyRounds checks for scheduling conflicts — for example:- Assigning a doctor who has approved leave on that date.
- Putting a doctor on back-to-back shifts without the required rest.
- Going over the maximum consecutive working days.
Save your changes
Select Save to confirm. The roster updates immediately. Changes to a published roster do not change its status — it stays visible to the team, with the new assignments shown to everyone, including viewers of the public share link.When to edit vs. when to swap
| Situation | Best tool |
|---|---|

| Two doctors want to trade their own shifts | Duty swap |
| Reversing a swap that shouldn’t have happened | Admin edit |
| Adding a doctor who wasn’t in the original team | Admin edit |
