Want to start all over and build your plan for real this time? HomeTrail doesn't have one button that erases everything. You can still get a clean start in a few minutes by clearing each part yourself. Work on the HomeTrail website, including in a phone browser.
1. Clear your Rhythm
Most of what fills your Planner comes from your Rhythm, the activities that repeat each week.
- Open Home and find Your family rhythm.
- Select an activity.
- Choose Remove from rhythm and confirm.
- Repeat for each activity you don't want.
The activity stops showing up in Day and the Planner right away. Anything you already recorded stays saved. Changed your mind? Choose not showing under your rhythm list to bring one back.
2. Delete one-time planned activities
Activities you added for a single date live in the Planner.
- Open Planner and choose Week or Month.
- Select the activity.
- Choose Delete and confirm.
You delete planned activities one at a time. There is no way to select several at once or clear a whole week. Deleting an activity also deletes its notes and photos, so only delete what you truly don't need.
3. Tidy your activity list
To hide old activities without losing their learning records, open Home → Your family rhythm → Activities, choose Edit details on an activity, then choose Archive activity. See Edit or Delete Activities and Fix Duplicates for more.
4. Remove or change students
- Change a student's name or grade: Open Home, select the student, make your changes, and choose Save student. See Add or Update a Student.
- Delete a student: Select the student on Home, choose Review student deletion, and follow the steps. See Review Records and Delete a Student.
5. Build your new plan
- Set your school year dates under Home → Your family rhythm → This year.
- Choose Add to your rhythm for each subject or curriculum you'll repeat each week.
- Add one-time lessons, field trips, or events in the Planner.
New to planning? Plan your first week walks you through it.
Starting over with a new account
If you'd rather delete your whole family account and sign up again, the family account owner can open the profile menu, choose Family Settings, and use Delete Team. This deletes every student and record for good. See Cancel a Scheduled HomeTrail Account Deletion if you change your mind. Most families find it easier to clear their plan with the steps above and keep their account.
