Edit, Update, Archive, or Delete an Action
Summary
This tutorial shows how to edit an Action, update its status, archive it, or permanently delete it in BuilderPal. These tools let you make changes after an Action has been created, while keeping work and communication accurate.
Prerequisites
- You have access to an existing Action
- You have permission to make changes to the Action
Edit an Action
Use Edit Details when you need to change the Action’s title, requirements, dates, or other fields.
Steps
- Open the Action you want to edit.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the Action title.
- Select Edit Details.
- Make your changes.
- Click SAVE in the top-right corner to apply the updates.
Changes are not saved automatically. If you exit without clicking SAVE, your changes will be lost.
Update Action Status
Updating an Action’s status helps communicate progress without changing the Action details.
Steps
- Open the Action.
- Click the status button (for example, Incomplete).
- Select the new status.
The updated status is immediately visible to all participants.
Archive an Action
Archiving removes an Action from active views without deleting it.
Steps
- Open the Action.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the Action title.
- Select Archive Action.
Archived Actions are no longer active but remain stored for reference.
Delete an Action
Deleting an Action permanently removes it from the project.
Steps
- Open the Action.
- Click the three-dot menu next to the Action title.
- Select Delete Action.
- In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm.
Deleted Actions cannot be recovered.
Screenshot Guidance
Use a desktop screenshot of an open Action showing:
- The Action title and status
- The three-dot menu
- The Edit Details, Archive Action, and Delete Action options
Avoid step-by-step screenshots. The image should reinforce where these controls live.
