Overview
Need to rearrange your trip itinerary? SquadTrip's drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to reorder activities, excursions, and events within your itinerary — no need to delete and recreate items.
Getting to the Itinerary Editor
Log in to your organizer dashboard
Open the trip you want to update and choose Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings (or click Edit Trip on the trip card on your home page)
Select "Itinerary" from the left sidebar under Optional Enhancements
Each day card has a drag handle, and the activities inside a day have their own handles
How to Reorder Itinerary Items
Log in to your organizer dashboard
Open the trip you want to edit
Navigate to the Itinerary section
Click and hold on the itinerary item you want to move (look for the drag handle)
Drag the item up or down to its new position
Release to drop it in place
A new day order is saved immediately; a new order of activities inside a day is saved when you click Save Changes on that day
Tips
Plan your itinerary flow — arrange items in chronological order so travelers can follow along day by day
Group by day — keep morning activities before afternoon ones, dinner before nightlife
Reorganize after adding new items — if you add activities out of order, just drag them to the right spot
Review after reordering — scroll through the full itinerary to make sure the new order makes sense
Good to Know
Drag and drop works for whole days and for the activities inside a day (an activity cannot be dragged into a different day -- edit it instead)
The reordered itinerary is what travelers see on their trip page
The itinerary PDF is cached -- after reordering, it may keep the old order until trip settings are saved again (see the PDF article)
Day moves are saved as you drop them -- days cannot be dragged while a day is open for editing or has unsaved changes
Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
Drag handle not appearing on itinerary items | Make sure you are in the Itinerary editor (open the trip, choose Trip Actions → Edit Trip Settings, then select "Itinerary" from the sidebar). Drag handles only appear in edit mode, not on the public trip page. |
Item snaps back to its original position | Days cannot be dragged while another day is open for editing or has unsaved changes -- save or discard first. If you see "Error updating order", check your internet connection, refresh the page and try again. |
Drag and drop not working on mobile | Drag and drop is optimized for desktop browsers. On mobile, tap and hold the drag handle, then slide the item to its new position. If it still does not respond, try using a desktop browser. |
Reordered items look wrong on the trip page | Clear your browser cache and refresh the public trip page. The updated order should appear immediately. If travelers report the old order, ask them to refresh their page as well. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does reordering itinerary items affect what travelers see immediately? A: Day reorders save as soon as you drop the day. Moving an activity inside a day is only stored when you click Save Changes; the public trip page then shows the new order. Travelers visiting your trip page will see the new order on their next page load or refresh.
Q: Can I reorder items across different days in the itinerary? A: You can drag whole days into a new order, and drag activities up or down within their day. To move an activity to a different day, edit it or re-create it under the other day.
Q: Is there an undo option if I accidentally move an item to the wrong spot? A: There is no dedicated undo button, but you can simply drag the item back to its original position. Day moves save instantly; for activities inside a day, use Discard Changes before saving.
Q: Does the itinerary PDF reflect the new order after I reorder items? A: Not always straight away. SquadTrip caches the generated PDF and rebuilds it when trip settings are saved; a reorder alone may leave the PDF in the old order. If the download looks stale, save the trip again or contact [email protected].
