Restore a saved trip

Use this article when you want to get back to a trip you already saved.

If you want the full UI walkthrough for the trip list and row actions, read How to use the Trip Manager.

Basic workflow

  1. Open the trip manager or saved trip list.
  2. Find the trip you want.
  3. Choose Load.
  4. Wait for the workspace to switch to that trip.

What to check after load

Confirm that the restored trip shows:

  • the expected trip name
  • the expected route
  • the saved planning state you meant to reopen

When to load versus duplicate

Load the trip when you want to continue working on the same plan.

Duplicate the trip when you want to branch into a new version without overwriting the original.

If you are worried about losing current work

Before loading another trip, save the current workspace if it contains changes you may want to keep.

That is especially important when the current workspace is still only a scratch draft.

If the saved trip is not where you expect

Check:

  • whether you are signed in to the expected account or session
  • whether the trip was saved in this browser or environment
  • whether you may be looking for a duplicate or renamed version instead
