Edit & delete time entries
Fix or remove time entries on your timesheet. Members manage their own un-invoiced entries; managers edit any. Reassigning is Owner/Admin only.
Made a typo or logged the wrong project? Edit or delete an entry from the timesheet. What you can change depends on your role and whether the entry has been invoiced.

Edit an entry
Open the entry
On the timesheet, click the entry you want to change.
Update the fields
Adjust the project, task, date, duration, note, or billable toggle. Durations follow the same duration formats.
Save
Save your changes. The timesheet totals update right away.
Delete an entry
Open the entry and choose Delete, then confirm. Deleting removes it from your timesheet and from your totals.
Locked (invoiced) entries
Once an entry has been added to an invoice it is locked. Trying to edit or delete it returns "Invoiced time entries are locked". To change locked time, you must first release it by cancelling or deleting the invoice. See Invoiced & locked time.
Need to change many entries at once — say flip a batch to non-billable? Use Bulk edit instead of opening them one by one.
Troubleshooting
- "Invoiced time entries are locked". The entry is on an invoice. Cancel or delete that invoice to release it. See Invoiced & locked time.
- I can't edit a teammate's entry. Editing others' entries needs Manager and up; reassigning needs Owner/Admin.
- I can only edit some of my entries. Invoiced entries are locked even when they're yours.
Duration formats
How to type durations in Hoursmith. Use H:MM, decimal hours, minutes, or a combined format. Bare numbers are not accepted.
