A rota is a draft until you publish it. Nobody sees your changes, and nobody is notified, until you choose to send.

Build the week

  1. Open Rota and pick the week.
  2. Choose Copy last week if your pattern is steady, or click an empty cell to add a shift by hand.
  3. Drag a name on to a shift. A red edge means a clash, such as two shifts that overlap or fewer than eleven hours between them.

Check before you send

The bar under the rota counts hours per person and flags anyone over the limit you set in Settings. Gaps show as pale boxes with a question mark.

Open shifts: 2
Clashes: 0
Hours over limit: 1 person

Publish

Choose Publish week. Everyone with a shift gets a notification, and anyone who changes later is told only about their own change.

Published by mistake? Choose Unpublish within an hour and nobody is notified.
