Drag-to-Schedule
The backlog is where “someday” tasks live: no day attached, just sitting in a bucket. When one is ready to happen, drag it onto the day you want, and Volana pulls it out of the backlog and places it on your calendar at a time that fits. Change your mind later? Drag it back off the day and it returns to the backlog, no time attached, exactly where it started.
From the backlog to a real day, and back
Watch a backlog row become a scheduled card, then watch that same card get dragged back off the day into the backlog. Same task the whole time: only where it lives changes.

- Find a task sitting in a backlog bucket that you’re ready to actually do.
- Press and drag the row: it lifts off the bucket and follows your cursor.
- Drop it on the day column you’re aiming for.
- Volana removes it from the backlog and schedules it: the new card shows the time it found for you.
- Changed your mind? Grab that same card off the day and drag it toward the backlog.
- Drop it there and Volana clears its time and files it back in the bucket it came from.
Volana picks the time, you can always move it
The dropped card lands in an open slot that respects your work hours and existing blocks. Not quite right? Drag it on the calendar or ask Luna to replan: nothing is locked in.
This works in both directions from either surface: drag from a backlog bucket onto any day, or drag a scheduled card back off a day onto the backlog. The task is the same object throughout, it just moves between “someday” and a real day on your calendar.
