Editing or cancelling a published route
Change a route's jobs, time, title or holder after publishing — the worker is told, and nothing changes silently.

Routes change: a span gets added, the day slips, a worker calls in sick. You can reshape a published route at any time — Maliru keeps the worker informed automatically.
Editing a route
Open the route card and click Edit. This reopens the same scheduling board you built the route on, titled Edit route — {title}, with everything prefilled: "The route's jobs are ticked. Tick more from this workstream or untick to remove them, then save."
You can change any of it in one pass:
- Add jobs — tick more jobs (or use Select by route to pull in another route).
- Remove jobs — untick them. Their assignments are withdrawn; the jobs themselves and their statuses are untouched.
- Retitle, re-window or re-assign with the same controls as before.
For a published route there's a single Save changes button — a published route is live, so there's no separate draft to keep. Saving applies the whole new shape at once.
What the worker sees
- If the route's jobs, title or window changed, the holder gets "Your route changed".
- If you gave the route to someone else, the previous holder gets "A route was reassigned" and the new holder receives the route as new work to confirm.
- Newly added jobs appear in the worker's route immediately; removed jobs disappear.
Draft routes change silently — nobody is notified until you publish.
Cancelling a route
Open the route card and click Cancel route. The confirmation spells out exactly what happens:
Cancel "{title}"? Its assignments are withdrawn and the card is removed. The jobs and their statuses stay.
Choose Cancel route to confirm or Keep route to back out. Cancelling removes the card from both your Schedule and the worker's app, but no job data is lost — any statuses already set during the route remain on the jobs.
Common questions
Can I move one job to a different worker without breaking the route? Remove it from this route (untick it in Edit), then schedule it separately — either on another route or as an ordinary shift.
Can a route have two workers? No — a route belongs to one person. Split the jobs across two routes instead.
Does editing reset the worker's confirmation? The worker keeps working from the same card; the "Your route changed" notification prompts them to look at the new shape.
