# Change sessions

> Switch between sessions during a competition - for example, from a morning session to an afternoon session.

## Method 1: Navigate Back and Scan a New QR Code

1. Tap **Back** repeatedly until you reach the main welcome/login screen.
2. Scan a new QR code for the new session.
3. The app loads the new session's rotations and apparatus.

## Method 2: Use the Change Session Dialog

1. From the **Apparatus List** screen, tap the **session dropdown** at the top.
2. A full-screen session selection dialog opens.
3. You can:

* **Search** sessions by name.
* **Filter** by date using the day chips.

4. Select the new session.
5. The app updates entirely to the new session - rotations, apparatus, and gymnast lists all refresh.

> **Note:** Changing sessions does not affect scores already submitted in the previous session. Those scores remain saved.

## When to Use Each Method

| Method             | Best For                                                                                 |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **QR Code**        | Switching to a session in a different meet, or when the organizer provides a new QR code |
| **Session Dialog** | Switching between sessions within the same meet - faster since you are already signed in |
