Hi, I have a goal to read more, and initially I thought I’d enter data (minutes I read) manually in the end of each day. Now however I realized that I Rescuetime is tracking my offline reading anyway, so I can make the process automatic. Can I switch the data source from Manual to Rescuetime and keep my goal and current data? Thanks, L ---

Hi LPP! If you email support, they can sort that out for you behind the scenes. In preparation, you’ll probably want to set up a RescueTime goal that tracks what you want. Then we’ll either be able to copy old datapoints onto the new goal or copy the RescueTime settings over to the old goal. (I’m not sure what easiest, so your request will probably get tagged for an über-admin to deal with.) ---
