Update cycles

Update your cycles after they have been created

Overview

The Cycles view in the Team sidebar provides a list of previous, current, and upcoming cycles. Most adjustments to a cycle can be made in this view.

Note: The Cycles view doesn’t include archived cycles.

Although cycles are automatically created, you are still able to adjust them as needed. Common use cases for adjusting are for holidays or when a team is out-of-office (e.g. company offsite.)

Update cycle name and description

From the Cycles view, click the three dots next to a Cycle and select Edit cycle... This allows you to update the name and description of the cycle to clarify your team’s focus during that cycle. When updating a cycle name with a number at the end of the name, the following cycle will follow that number and begin a new numbering sequence from there.

Change cycle dates

Update a cycle’s dates from the contextual menu on the Cycles page. For upcoming cycles, you can change both the start and end date. For the current cycle, you can change only the end date.

Note: You can’t change a cycle’s date into the past, so past cycle dates aren’t editable.

Adjusting dates without cycle cooldowns

When shortening the end date for a cycle, the time between the following cycle and the shortened cycle will display a “Cycles paused” period. When extending the end date for a cycle, the extended cycle will cut into the time for the following cycle—thus, shortening the following cycle.

Adjusting dates with cycle cooldowns

If cooldown periods are enabled and cycle dates are adjusted, the cooldown label updates to reflect the actual gap. If cooldown periods are not enabled, any gap between cycles is shown as “Cycles paused”.
