Manage routine settings

Open a routine's settings to change its name or notes, manage sharing and Play settings, make a copy, or delete it.

The mobile Routine Settings screen

Details and Play settings

Choose a name that describes the repeated work. Add notes if people need more context before opening the steps. You can also show or hide task suggestions, set the rest between tasks and preparation time, and choose whether a timed task automatically moves to the next task.

Duplicate or share the routine

Duplicate a routine when you need a separate version with its own steps. The copy receives a new name and opens for editing. Duplicating a routine requires Plus or higher.

The Share with family/ contacts setting controls whether team members can use the routine. The option depends on your role and who owns it. Sharing the routine does not automatically share every checklist created from it.

Delete carefully

Deleting removes the routine after you confirm. Checklists already created from it remain available, but you can no longer run or schedule the routine. If you only need a variation, duplicate it instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some settings missing?

Some actions are available only to the owner or people with permission to manage the routine. You may be able to run a routine without changing it.
