Move an entry to another journal

If you saved a memory in the wrong journal, change its journal in the entry editor. You do not need to recreate the entry.

How to get started

  1. Create the destination journal in the journal library if it does not exist yet.
  2. Find the entry and tap its timestamp, or press and hold it and choose Edit Details.
  3. In Move Entry, select the destination journal.
  4. Tap Done. Open the destination journal and check the memory there.
Edit Entry controls showing the Move Entry journal picker, date and time fields, and Location.
Change the entry’s details. Select the destination journal or correct the date, then tap Done. Attachment controls continue farther down the editor. View full screenshot

The move happens when you tap Done

Selecting a journal in the picker prepares the change; Done saves it. After a successful move, the entry disappears from its old journal’s timeline.

The memory keeps its saved text and attachments. Its date still determines where it appears within the destination timeline.

Choose a journal in the library. The plus action creates another journal. Open a cover to choose where you write. View full screenshot

If the journal is not in the picker

The picker uses active journals. If there is no other journal to choose, create one first. Check the journal name carefully when several covers look similar.

For larger reorganizations, keep an exported backup before you start. Moving an entry and deleting a journal are different actions.

Screenshots use sample content. Labels and available controls can vary by app version and device.
