Habit details
Open a habit to rename it, read its actual steps, and rewrite a step to re-learn it.
last updated
Click a habit's name in the habits list to open its detail screen. It shows what the habit actually does — the exact steps — not just its name, whether you taught it or Plainwork detected it automatically.
Rename
Click Rename next to the title, type a new name, and press Enter. The new name is used everywhere and syncs to your other devices.
Read the steps
Each step lists what it does in plain language — "Click 'Send' in Slack", "Read the list of issues from Linear" — with a tag for anything that:
- needs review: A best guess Plainwork wants you to confirm.
- needs your approval (⚠): An irreversible step that pauses on every run.
The details section below shows the schedule, when it last ran, and any folders the habit is allowed to read.
Change a step (re-learning)
- Click Edit on a step.
- Update its title and/or describe what the step should do.
- Click Save & re-learn.
Because you've changed what the step should do, Plainwork can no longer trust the element it learned before, so it re-learns that step: the habit drops back to Draft and won't run on its schedule until you run it once and publish it again. This keeps a changed habit from acting on a stale, wrong target.
Delete
Delete removes the habit after a confirmation. You can also pause or resume it from here without deleting.
