Swaps in PlanMyRounds are **auto-approved**. There's no admin sitting in the middle, and no waiting for a decision — the moment a swap is confirmed, the roster updates and both doctors are notified. That's possible because the scheduling engine runs the safety checks for you, every single time. ## What gets checked at confirmation When a doctor selects **Confirm** on a swap, PlanMyRounds re-validates that: * The proposed change does **not break any scheduling rule** — rest hours, back-to-back limits, max consecutive days, and so on. See [Roster constraints](/docs/rosters/roster-constraints) for the full list. * The roster has **not been modified by someone else** since the swap options were loaded. If both checks pass, the swap is applied and the roster updates instantly. ## Why re-validation matters The options shown in the swap panel are calculated at the moment you open it. A lot can change in the next few seconds — an admin might edit the roster, another swap might go through, or new leave might be approved. Re-validating **at the point of confirmation** — not just when options are loaded — means stale or conflicting choices are caught before they're applied. If a conflict is found at confirmation time, you'll see a message asking you to refresh and try again. The swap is **not** applied. ## How both parties are notified Once a swap is confirmed, both the requesting doctor and the colleague receive: * A **push notification** on the PlanMyRounds mobile app. * An **email** with the details of the change — including the old and new shift assignments — if their email address is on file. ## If a swap needs to be undone There is **no automatic swap reversal**. If a swap was a mistake or circumstances change again, an admin can step in and manually reassign the original doctors using the [Edit Roster](/docs/rosters/editing-a-published-roster) view. Admins can always reassign shifts through the Edit Roster view, regardless of how the current assignment came about — generated, edited, or swapped. ## Next steps The doctor's-eye view of starting a swap.
