# Switch between records

Move between your own record and a child's or managed record.

If you hold or look after more than one record, for example your own and a child's, you can move between them from one account.

## Who sees more than one record

A record is listed for you when you are:

- The **holder**: it is your directive
- An adult **looking after a child's record**: a grant made when you gave consent for them

Paying for a plan does not put someone else's record on your list. On a household plan each person's document, confirmations, and access history are theirs alone.

Each record is a separate legal instrument. Four people on one plan means four signed documents, four reviews, and four public pages. A shared subscription is a billing arrangement; it does not merge the records.

## How to switch

Open [Your records](https://app.wearabledocs.com/records), or choose **Switch record** in the account menu or on [Account & billing](https://app.wearabledocs.com/account). Each record is listed with its name, its short code, and where it stands:

- **Live: directive showing, contacts reachable**
- **Live: directive showing, no one is alerted yet**
- **Document in review**
- **Not complete: no directive on the page yet**
- **Setup not finished**
- **Page is down: subscription not active**

Records you look after for someone else are marked **you look after this record**. The one you are in now says **Open now**. Choose **Open** on another to work on it; the app shows that record until you switch again.

**Switch record** only appears when you have more than one record: in the account menu on a computer, at the top of **Menu** on a phone, and on [Account & billing](https://app.wearabledocs.com/account). With a single record, [Your records](https://app.wearabledocs.com/records) sends you back to the home screen.

## Switching does not

- Change who pays. If your plan covers several people, the billing arrangement stays the same whichever record you are looking at.
- Share information between records. Each record has its own contacts, its own documents, and its own access history.
