Common questions

Can a rule cut a whole session?

Yes. Skip takes the day's session away, and nothing else in the rule runs that day. Replace session puts another program's session in its place. A rule holds at most one action that acts on the whole session.

Where do I see what a rule changed?

In Review. A change that waits for you shows there with Accept, Decline and Edit. A change that applied automatically shows as Applied automatically with the rule's name.

Can I undo a change that already applied?

Yes. Choose Revert on its row in Review, before the athlete starts the session. If you edited that day after the rule ran, Review tells you the undo can't go through.
