# Want to go and Going

Save places you like with Want to go, schedule them onto a trip so they become Going, and find everything you've saved in My Places.

Save a place the moment you see it, then decide later which trip and which day it belongs on. Plannery keeps those two steps separate: **Want to go** is your personal shortlist, and **Going** means a place has a date on a trip.

## Want to go

**Want to go** is a bookmark. Tap the bookmark on any place — in a guide, in **Explore**, or on the map — and it's saved. Tap it again to remove it.

- It belongs to you, not to a trip. You can save places with no trip open at all, while reading a guide to a city you might visit someday.
- It carries no date or time. It only says "I'd like to go here."
- Both places and hotels can be saved. On a place's own sheet the button reads **Saved** once it's marked.

## Going

A place is **Going** when it's scheduled as a stop on a trip. Open the place and tap **Add to Itinerary**, then pick a day and, if you like, a start and end time.

Because Going means "we're visiting on this day," it always shows its date. On a card in **Explore** or a guide you'll see a pill like **Going · Dec 30**; the full sheet reads **On your itinerary · Dec 30 · 12:00 PM**. A place is never Going without a when.

Once a place is on your itinerary, **Add to Itinerary** is replaced by three actions: **Swap** it for another place in the same slot, **Add option** to offer an alternative for the group to weigh, or **Remove** it from the day.

## How the two relate

Scheduling a saved place doesn't use up the bookmark. **Add to Itinerary** creates a stop on that one trip; your Want to go mark stays with you and still shows in **My Places** and on future trips.

The reverse holds too: **Remove** a stop from a day and the place returns to Want to go on that trip rather than disappearing.

So relative to any one trip, a place is in one of three states:

| State | Who it belongs to | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Unmarked | — | You've seen it, nothing more |
| **Want to go** | You | A personal wish, no date |
| **Going** | The trip | A scheduled stop, with a date everyone on the trip sees |

## Saving as a group

Each traveler's marks are their own, so a place can show how many of the party want it. On a card in **Explore**, the avatars of everyone who has saved that place appear beside the bookmark (up to three). In the add-a-place picker, hover or hold the bookmark for a count such as "3 travelers want to go — saved, not scheduled."

There's no formal vote. The avatars are a nudge: several of us like this, so put it on a day.

## My Places

Everything you've ever saved, across every trip and guide, lives at **My Places** (`/my-places`).

1. On a phone, tap **More** in the bottom bar, then **My Places**. On the web, use **See all** on the My Places carousel on your home screen, or your account menu.
2. If you've saved in more than one city, a row of chips — **All** plus one per city — filters the grid.
3. Tap a card to open the place sheet, where you can **Add to Itinerary** or remove the bookmark.

Nothing saved yet? The page says so and offers **Browse guides**.
