# How to edit, copy or delete a chore

Open the chore, tap the three dots at the top right, then choose Edit, Copy or Delete. You need a profile without Limit Access, such as a parent's profile.

You can change a chore at any time.
You need a profile without **Limit Access** to edit, copy or delete chores.

## Find the chore

From the **Home** tab:

1. Pick a day on the calendar.
2. Tap the chore.

From the **Chores** tab:

1. Tap **By Area** to group chores by room, or **By Member** to group them by person.
2. Use the menu next to it to show **All Chores**, **My Chores** or **Unassigned**.
3. Tap the chore.

## Edit a chore

1. Open the chore.
2. Tap the three dots at the top right, then tap **Edit**.
   On the chore screen from the **Chores** tab, you can also tap the **Edit** button at the bottom.
3. Change what you need: room, tasks, name, who does it, reward, schedule, reminder, notes or photo proof.
4. Tap **Save**.

If you change the room, pick tasks from the new room.

Changing the reward doesn't change what was already earned.
The new reward counts the next times the chore is finished.
Adding a task doesn't take back rewards for days the chore was already finished; the new task counts from the next time the chore is done.

## Copy a chore

1. Open the chore.
2. Tap the three dots at the top right, then tap **Copy**.
3. The copy opens with the same settings and "(Copy)" added to its name.
4. Change what you need and tap **Save**.

Copying is a quick way to make a similar chore for another room or person.

## Delete a chore

1. Open the chore.
2. Tap the three dots at the top right, then tap **Delete**.
3. The app asks "Delete this chore from ...?" and warns "This will permanently remove the chore from ...".

## Troubleshooting

- **There are no three dots on the chore screen**: the selected profile has **Limit Access**.
  Switch to a parent's profile from the name at the top of the **Home** tab.
- **"Your profile is not allowed to make changes."**: same cause, switch to a parent's profile.
- **"You can view this chore but only assigned members can edit it."**: the selected profile has **Limit Access** and isn't assigned to this chore.
