Schedules are constantly evolving: an hour to shift, a section to correct, a break to adjust. Shyfter lets you edit a shift in a few seconds, and apply the same change to several shifts at once so you do not repeat the operation.

## Edit a single shift

Go to **Schedules → Schedule management** and click the shift to edit. The "Edit shift" panel opens on the right. It contains the same fields as when creating a shift:

- An **Shift information** selector at the top, which groups the slot's information.
- The **Shift** and **Absence** tabs.
- **Section**: the attached section, with its colour.
- **User**: the employee concerned. Next to their name, their weekly hours balance (for example 35.5/38h) and their star rating are shown, which helps when deciding on a reassignment.
- **Skills**: the associated skills, which you can remove or add.
- **Start** and **End**: the shift hours.
- **Paid break** and **Unpaid break**: the break durations.
- The **Shift not counted in worked hours** checkbox.
- **Tasks**: the tasks attached to the shift.

At the bottom of the panel, three buttons: **Cancel** to close without changes, **Delete** to remove the shift, and **Edit shift** to save your changes.

If the shift is part of a recurring series, Shyfter asks whether the change applies to this single slot or to the whole series.

## Edit several shifts at once

When the same change has to be applied to several shifts (shifting a start time, changing a section), bulk editing saves precious time.

1. Select the relevant shifts by clicking them while holding **Ctrl** (or **Cmd** on Mac).
2. **Right-click** one of the selected shifts.
3. Choose **Edit the X shifts**.
4. In the panel, fill in only the fields you want to change: only those will be updated across the whole selection, the others stay untouched.
5. Confirm.

## Practical tip

To act on a whole week, use the **More → Select all shifts** menu, then apply your bulk change.
