Edit a drive
Edit drive details—including distance, category, vehicle, purpose, date, and notes—in the MileLedger phone app. The web app shows synced drives but does not edit them.
Steps
- 1
Open the drive
In the **Drives** tab, tap the drive you want to edit.
- 2
Tap Edit
On the drive detail screen, tap **Edit** (or the fields available for that trip).
- 3
Change the fields you need
Update categorization (Business/Personal), purpose, vehicle, notes, or other available fields. Correct distance when a trip needs review.
- 4
Save
Save your changes. If you are signed in, updates sync to the cloud and appear in the web app after the next sync.
Important notes
- Drive edits happen on phone only. Use /app/drives on the web to review synced history, not to change records.
- Incomplete GPS sessions stay flagged for review until you confirm or correct them—MileLedger does not invent missing path mileage.
- If you are signed in, edits sync with last-write-wins by update time.
Common problems
I cannot edit a drive on the website
That is expected. Open the MileLedger phone app, edit the drive there, then refresh or reopen /app after sync.
