Have a few changes in mind for next week? You can describe them to Alpaca inside Timetable Maker<\/a> instead of editing each event separately.<\/p>\n

The example below adds a pair of study sessions, then moves one of them. You\u2019ll apply an instruction, check the result and save the changes.<\/p>\n

Add two sessions with one instruction<\/h2>\n

Open the timetable editor and find the Prompt<\/strong> field. Enter:<\/p>\n

\n

Add a study session every Monday and Wednesday from 6 pm to 7 pm. Call it Biology review and use blue.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n \"Prompt
Describe the days, times and event name in the Prompt field. Your remaining allowance may differ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Select Apply<\/strong> and wait for the result. The editor shows your remaining allowance, which determines whether you can apply another prompt.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the two events. Are they on Monday and Wednesday, from 6 pm to 7 pm? Check their names, colour and reminders too. If a message says no changes were applied, read it before trying again.<\/p>\n

Adjust the plan<\/h2>\n

Suppose Wednesday\u2019s session would work better a little earlier. You could write:<\/p>\n

\n

Move Wednesday\u2019s Biology review to 5 pm. Keep its duration, notes and reminder unchanged.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Naming the event and the day helps Alpaca identify what you want to change. For an event on the dated timeline, include its date as well. It\u2019s also helpful to say which details you want to keep.<\/p>\n

After applying the instruction, check Wednesday\u2019s session again. You can always make a small correction with the ordinary editing controls if that\u2019s quicker.<\/p>\n

Undo a change you don\u2019t want<\/h2>\n

If the result isn\u2019t what you meant, select Undo<\/strong> before making further changes. While available, it restores the editor to how it was before Alpaca made that change.<\/p>\n

Further edits or saving can make Undo unavailable. It doesn\u2019t keep a history of every version, so this is the time to use it. You can then try a more specific instruction.<\/p>\n

Save when you\u2019re ready<\/h2>\n

Give the updated timetable a final look, including event durations and reminders. For dated events, check the date as well as the time.<\/p>\n

Apply changes the timetable in the editor; saving is a separate step.<\/strong> Use the usual save or update controls to keep your changes. Applying a prompt doesn\u2019t send email or share the timetable.<\/p>\n

You can use prompts and the regular controls together, choosing whichever is easier for the change you want to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
