Draft shifts, and the distance calculator in the wizard
Save an unfinished shift and come back to it, and work out mileage from postcodes without leaving the wizard.
Last checked 12/09/2026.
Two changes to the shift wizard.
Draft shifts
Leaving the wizard with real data entered now offers to save it as a draft. Drafts are stored against your account rather than the device, so you can start one on a phone and finish it on a laptop, and a "Finish logging shift" button appears on your dashboard while one exists.
Drafts are kept in a separate table from shifts, which guarantees a half-finished record can never reach an earnings total, a tax estimate or an export.
The distance calculator, in the wizard
Both mileage steps now have a "Use our distance calculator" link that opens over the wizard rather than navigating away, so nothing you have typed is lost. If the field already has a figure it asks whether to replace it or add to it.
