Go to **Home → Plans** and select a plan to open it. Plans still being worked on are listed first. Filter the list by **Status**, **Focus area** or **Source**, or search by title, focus area, scope, evidence or owner. A plan past its due date that's still **Draft** or **In progress** shows **Overdue**.

## Change the owner, due date or status

1. Select **Edit plan**.
2. Change the **Owner**, **Due date** or **Status**: **Draft**, **In progress**, **Completed** or **Archived**.
3. Select **Save changes**. Choosing **Completed** or **Archived** asks you to confirm first.

The title, focus area and scope can't be changed. If they're wrong, create a new plan and delete this one.

## Complete or archive a plan

Select **More**, then **Mark completed** or **Archive**, and confirm. **Mark completed** is only offered while a plan is **Draft** or **In progress**. Either can be undone by changing the status in **Edit plan**.

Completed and archived plans move to the end of the list. **Add to plan** on the Signals page no longer offers them.

## Add or remove evidence

- **Add signals** lists **New** signals in the plan's focus area, with signals about the plan's own scope first. Tick the ones you want and select the button below, such as **Add 2 signals**. For a signal in another focus area, or one already in another plan, use **Add to plan** on the Signals page. A plan can hold up to 50 signals.
- **Remove signal** under a signal takes it off the plan. "The saved evidence will be removed from this plan. Tasks will stay in the plan." If no other plan uses the signal, it goes back to **New**.

Each signal on a plan shows **Saved evidence**: its numbers from the day it was added. Later updates don't change them.

## Delete a plan

Select **More → Delete plan**. The box says how many tasks will go with it, for example "Hiring in Sales and its 4 tasks will be deleted." Select **Delete plan** to confirm. This can't be undone. The plan's tasks, steps and comments are deleted, and its signals go back to **New** unless another plan uses them.

## Plans made from a Pulse survey

If your company made action plans from a Pulse survey, they're in this list too, with **Pulse survey** as the source and **Survey audience** as the scope. Their title comes from the survey and can't be changed. They open in Pulse rather than here.

## If something goes wrong

**"We couldn't find this plan"**
"It may have been deleted, or it belongs to another company." Select **Back to plans**.

**"No other open signals for this focus area."**
There are no **New** signals left in this focus area. Use **Add to plan** on the Signals page for others.
