## Edit a published route

You can keep editing a route after you publish it, right up until it's finished. What you can change depends on how far along the route is:

-   **Any time until the route is finished:** route name, color, tags, capacity, end location, and shift end time.
    
-   **Until your driver starts the route:** start location and shift start time.
    
-   **Until you publish:** the start date. To move a published route to another day, [unpublish it](https://help.routific.com/en/articles/74-how-to-unpublish-your-route.md) first.
    

A new route name updates for your driver right away. Changes to times, locations, tags, or capacity recalculate the route's delivery times, and a yellow pencil badge appears next to the route. Click **Publish** to send them to your driver.

Once your driver starts the route, its times update automatically as they go.
