Give the entry a purpose
Journal editing changes descriptive fields while preserving the session's timing information. You do not need to alter start or end merely to correct a typo or add context.
Write and save deliberately
Open the intended session, choose Notes, mood & weight, edit the relevant fields, and save. Check that you selected the right record when several have similar durations.
The journal fields are optional. Mood choices are Calm, Good, Tired, Hungry, or no selection; notes are plain text up to 5,000 characters, and weight is an optional positive number in kilograms.
Use a concrete example
The save operation retains the start, end, protocol, and goal from that record. Its position in the Journal tab therefore does not change simply because the note was edited.
Read the note in context
A previously exported JSON file still contains the older wording. Export a fresh backup if you want a new copy reflecting the correction, and manage older copies separately.
A journal belongs to a particular session. Saving its note, mood, or weight preserves that record's start, end, protocol, and goal, so descriptive edits do not require a time correction.
A worked walkthrough
Suppose you notice a typo in a note attached to a record from last month. Identify the session by date and duration, open Notes, mood & weight, correct the text, and save. There is no reason to enter Edit times because the event's start and end are still accurate. After saving, the row remains in its historical position rather than moving to today. If you are updating a significant explanation rather than a typo, you can make that timing clear with wording such as added later. A new JSON export will contain the revised text, while an old export retains the earlier wording. This division is useful: descriptive editing changes the current record, historical ordering follows its end, and file copies preserve the versions that existed when you exported them. Check each scope separately when verifying the correction.
