Editing and deleting

Typos happen. Here is how to fix them, and who is allowed to.

Who can change an expense

• The person who added it.
• The person who paid for it.
• The group’s owner and admins, for any expense.

Anyone else gets Only the person who added or paid this, or an admin, can change it. See Roles and members.

Edit an expense

1. Open the expense from the group’s Expenses tab.
2. Tap Edit.
3. Change what you need on Edit expense, then tap Save changes.

Balances update straight away, and the people in the split get a notification that it changed.

Good to know

• A by-item expense opens as Exact amounts, because Potluck keeps each person’s share, not the item list.
• Repeats cannot be changed on an existing expense. Manage repeating bills under Repeating on the Expenses tab. See Repeating expenses.
• An expense in another currency keeps its saved exchange rate unless you change the currency.

Delete an expense

1. Open the expense and tap the trash button (Delete).
2. Confirm. Potluck reminds you: You can undo this for a little while.

The expense disappears from the list and balances update.

Undo and restore

Right after deleting, a message says Expense deleted. with an Undo button. Tap it and the expense comes back as if nothing happened.

Missed it? Deleted expenses are not gone for good. If you open one later, for example from a notification, it says This expense was deleted. Tap Restore to bring it back, with its balances.

You cannot edit a deleted expense until you restore it. If someone in the split has left the group since, it cannot be restored.
