Edit Punches

Updated October 27, 2026 16:17

If your team uses 7punches for time clocking, or sync punches from an integrated POS, Admin and Manager/Assistant Manager users can edit punches in 7shifts, both on web and mobile. Use the tabs to switch your viewing preferences between the mobile and web app to learn how.

⚠️Punches can be added/edited by Admin users + Manager/Assistant Manager users assigned to that Location, with the permission: 'Can manage time punches'.

⚠️To edit time punches syncing from a POS, the 'Edit POS time punches in 7shifts' setting must be enabled. If this setting is not enabled, all punch edits must be made in your POS time clock to sync into 7shifts.

⚠️Punches are tied to the specific location where the employee clocked in. You cannot edit the location on an existing time punch. To change a location, you must delete the incorrect punch and recreate a new one.

Log in to the mobile app > tap on the More menu ' ☰ ' in the bottom right corner of your screen > select Time Clocking.
Use the filters to narrow down your results and use the tabs to switch between Unapproved and Approved punches:
