How to make changes to a published schedule

Before making changes to your 7shifts schedule, ensure you understand how to re-publish shifts so your employees receive updated notifications and can view their new shift times.

Things To Know


Important: Managers/Assistant mangers require the "Can manage schedules" permission to edit and publish shifts.

  • When you delete or modify shifts in 7shifts, the changes remain in draft mode and appear yellow until they are published. 
  • Modified shifts will not automatically update for your team or become visible to employees until you re-publish the schedule.
  • You can choose to notify only the employees whose shifts were specifically altered during the re-publishing process.

Steps to edit shifts and re-publish your schedule: 


Use the tabs to change your viewing preferences through the mobile or web app:

Mobile 📱 Web 🖥️
  1. Log in to the 7shifts mobile app and tap the calendar icon on the bottom navigation bar. 
  2. Tap on an existing shift you wish to modify.
  3. Tap the Pencil icon to edit shift details or use the three dots menu to delete the shift or change Shift Flag.

  4. Make the necessary changes to the shift details.
  5. Tap Save shift to place the modified shift into draft mode.

  6.  From there the shift will be in draft mode (unpublished) and yellow in color. They will still need to be published before the changes are live for the Employee.
  7. Return to the schedule page and tap Publish Schedule.

  8. Select your preferred notification method for the team. 
  9. Tap Publish to make the changes live for employees.
