Plans move. Re-typing them should not.
The plan you made at 8am is a guess, and by 11 it is wrong. Reassign is built for the second half of that: changing a day cheaply, with the same moves you used to build it.
Shift one block and everything after it
Press S on a block and everything later in the day moves with it. A meeting that ran twenty minutes long costs one move, not twenty edits.
Move, resize, sweep across midnight
Grab a block to slide it, pull an end to resize it. Sweep a block straight across midnight or noon and it stays one block rather than splitting into two rows.
Two things at once, without a clash
Drag a solid block over another and it slims into a non-blocking band: a slim overlay on the inner ring that can sit on top of anything. Two things at the same hour stay two things, instead of a conflict you have to resolve.
Undo is a first-class move
⌘Z rolls back recent edits, and a toast brings back a deleted block. Nothing you do to the day is a one-way door.
Whole days at a time, on Pro
Everything above is free. Two bigger moves sit on Pro, both on desktop: selecting more than one block and moving, copying or deleting them together, and right-clicking the dial to copy, clear, or duplicate a whole day at once.
Nothing reshuffles on its own
Reassign never reflows your day behind your back. There is no auto-scheduler quietly rearranging tomorrow while you sleep. Every move is one you made by hand, or one you approved on a card first.
This page is the what and the why. For the step by step, the docs cover the same ground as instructions: Reschedule and shift in the docs →
Questions
- What happens to a block that ran long?
- Mark it Changed with the real time, or drag its end out and press S to push the rest of the day back with it. Both are one move.
- Can I move a block to another day?
- Yes. Use the command palette, or add it to your Inbox on Pro and drop it onto a later day when there is room.
