Add, edit, and delete subjects and tasks

Once you've built your plan, you'll often want to shape it: add a subject the template missed, retire one you've already passed, or fix a task's due date after a slow week. All of it is quick, and none of it loses your history. Two homes to remember — Settings for managing the whole list, and the task drawer for tuning one task in context.

Manage your subjects

Subjects are the top-level buckets your whole plan is organised around. Open Settings → Subjects to add a new one, edit an existing one, drag to reorder, or remove one you don't need. Each subject carries a few fields that tell StudyRise how to schedule and weight it, so it's worth setting them once.

1. Open Settings → Subjects. You'll see your full subject list.
2. Add a subject with the add control, or tap an existing one to edit it.
3. Set the subject's blueprint category (which exam area it belongs to), class count, question target, tier (how heavily to prioritise it), and required SR hits (how many spaced-repetition reviews it needs to count as retained).
4. Reorder by dragging — the order sets how StudyRise sequences and prioritises your work.
5. Remove a subject with its remove control. Double-check first if it already has logged progress.

Add or edit a task

Tasks are the individual to-dos inside each subject — the things you actually tick off. Settings → Tasks is the list view for managing them in bulk: search everything you've got, and add new ones. A task needs only three things to exist, so adding one is fast.

1. Open Settings → Tasks.
2. Search your existing tasks to find and edit one, or use the add control to create a new task.
3. Give a new task a title, a phase (foundation, consolidation, or mocks), and a question target.
4. Save. The task drops into your plan under its phase, ready to schedule.

The task-detail drawer

For tuning a single task in context, open it from the Plan screen instead. Tap any task — in List, Board, or Timeline view — and the task-detail drawer slides out. This is where you adjust everything about that one task and where you mark it complete with a specific date, which keeps your history accurate.

1. On the Plan screen, tap a task to open its drawer.
2. Edit its due date, estimated hours, phase, subject, and question target.
3. Work the step-by-step checklist — tick sub-steps as you go so a big task doesn't feel all-or-nothing.
4. Mark complete with a date when you're done. Backdating here is how you record work you finished but didn't log on the day.

That's the whole picture: use Settings when you're managing the list, and the drawer when you're working a single task. If you fall behind and need to move dates in bulk, staying on track covers backdating and catch-up without guilt.
