Your Data & Storage

Where your data lives

You sign in to use SquadRotate, and your team data is saved to your account. That covers your roster, team name, team size and formation, coaching staff, practice plans, and every game: the shift plans, absences, locks and pins, plus the live game, its minutes, and the game log.

Each device also keeps a copy, so the app keeps working when you lose signal at the field. Changes made offline go up to your account as soon as you're back online.

A few settings stay on the device you set them on and don't sync: Balance suggestions, Default tab on open, the live list sort and daylight mode.

Checking that it saved

The badge in the top bar shows where your changes are:

• Saved: safely in your account.
• Saving…: on the way up.
• Syncing…: this team was just changed on another device. Your changes are kept and go up in a moment.
• Offline, saved on this device: kept on this phone until you're back online.
• Not saved, retrying: a save didn't land. Tap the badge to see why. SquadRotate keeps trying on its own.

If SquadRotate can't load your team, it shows Loading your team… or We couldn't load your team with Try again. It never shows an empty team in place of one you've built, and it changes nothing until it knows what's saved.

Switching devices

Sign in with the same account on any phone, tablet or computer and your teams load, games included.

Assistant coaches see the head coach's team on their own devices, read-only. See Coaching Staff.

Using two devices at once

If two devices change the same team at nearly the same moment, SquadRotate merges them. Anything you didn't touch on this device takes the other device's version. Anything you changed here stays. If you both changed the same thing, this device's version wins.

Exception: an assistant coach with Can edit on, colliding with the head coach. The head coach's device always wins there, not whichever device saved first. The assistant sees the head coach's latest version and a note that their conflicting change wasn't saved, so they can redo it. See Coaching Staff.

You'll see a short message that the team was changed on another device, and the badge shows Syncing… until it settles on Saved. There's nothing to reload. A game that's running live on this device keeps its own clock, subs and minutes.

If the devices keep colliding, the badge drops to Not saved, retrying. Tap it to see why. SquadRotate keeps trying on its own.

Clearing data

Clearing your browser's site data, or deleting the app, removes this device's copy only. Your account copy is safe. Sign in again to get it back.

Warning: If the badge doesn't say Saved, this device may have changes your account doesn't have yet. Get back online and wait for Saved before you clear anything.

To erase everything, open the menu behind the SquadRotate logo and tap Delete my account. This deletes your account and every team, roster and game, on this device and on our servers. SquadRotate asks you twice, because it can't be undone. If you're an assistant coach on someone else's team, only your access goes; their team stays as it is.
