​
Menus & Actions

Every part of your itinerary has a context menu packed with the right tools for that level. Here’s exactly what each one does.

​
Trip Menu

Click the ⋯ icon next to the trip title to open the trip-level menu.

​
Quick Actions (top row)

Four one-tap actions always at your fingertips:
  • Edit Name — Change the trip title.
  • Start Date — Set or update when the trip begins. This affects how days are labelled and how the calendar view displays.
  • Images — Upload a cover photo and gallery images for the trip.
  • Cost (publishers & agents only) — Open the full trip budget and cost breakdown. See all expenses by day, category, or supplier.

​
Other Actions

  • Edit Description — Write a description that appears on the public trip page and in the preview panel.
  • Optimise Route — Rooutie automatically reorders your days to minimize total travel distance between them. Useful for multi-city trips where the day order matters for efficiency.
  • Publish / Unpublish — Toggle your trip between private (only you and collaborators) and public (discoverable on Rooutie by anyone).
  • Ideas & Notes — Add loose ideas or trip-level notes visible to all collaborators. These are suggestions, not fixed itinerary steps.

​
Advanced

  • Delete Trip — Permanently delete the trip and everything in it.
  • Embed Map — Get an <iframe> code to embed this trip’s map on any website or blog.
  • Manage Tags (publishers & agents only) — Tag the trip by traveler type, budget, season, and interests so it appears in the right discovery searches. See Trip Tags.
  • Edit Slug (publishers & agents only) — Customise the public URL. For example: rooutie.com/trip/10-days-in-japan.

​
Day Menu

Click the ⋯ icon on any day header to open that day’s menu.

​
Quick Actions (top row)

  • Add Day Above — Insert a blank day before this one.
  • Add Day Below — Insert a blank day after this one.
  • Generate — Use AI to fill this day with suggested activities. If the day already has steps, this option becomes Regenerate — the AI replaces the current content with fresh suggestions while keeping the same destination context.

​
Other Actions

  • Edit Description — Add a title or summary for the day that appears in the public preview (e.g., “Day in Kyoto — temples and matcha”).
  • Optimise Day Route — Reorder the steps within this day so the route is as efficient as possible — minimising backtracking and total walking distance.
  • Ideas & Notes — Add recommendations or ideas to this day without making them fixed itinerary steps. Perfect for “if we have time” options.
  • Set Day Start Time — Set what time the day begins. This is the anchor point for the Calendar view timeline. Set it to something realistic — 9am for a normal day, noon for a day after a late flight.
  • Delete Day — Remove this day and all its steps.

​
Step Menu

Click the ⋯ icon on any step to open that step’s menu.

​
Primary Actions

Two prominent buttons at the top of the menu:
  • More Details — Open a rich info panel for the place: full description, photos, ratings, opening hours, ticket prices, website, and contact info.
  • Directions — Open Google Maps and navigate to this location from your current position.

​
Quick Actions (three-button row)

  • Booking — Mark this step as booked and track the details: confirmation number, booking type (Hotel, Restaurant, Activity, Transport), check-in/check-out dates and times. The booking status is visible on the step card in all view modes. A green chip = confirmed. A grey chip = not yet confirmed.
  • Add Cost — Log an expense for this step: amount, currency, and category. Costs roll up into the trip’s total budget and cost overview.
  • Set Time — Set how long you plan to spend here. Updates the duration in Calendar view and helps validate that your day is achievable.

​
Edit

  • Add Note — Add a quick note beneath the step (only shown if no note exists yet). Great for reminders like “book tickets in advance” or “arrive before 10am to avoid queues”.
  • Edit Info & Notes — Full edit modal: change the step title, time, duration, location, and write rich notes with formatting.
  • Edit Images — Add or replace photos for this step. Search for photos or upload your own — these appear in the public trip view.

​
Connect

  • Link Social Post — Attach one of your Instagram, YouTube, or TikTok posts to this step. The video or post appears embedded when someone views your public trip. Great for creators and agents building content-rich guides.
  • Add Alternatives — Search for nearby places and add them as recommendations below this step. Alternatives give viewers options without bloating the main itinerary. Perfect for restaurants, where personal preference varies.

​
Danger

  • Delete — Permanently remove this step from the itinerary.
