# Saved plans

MV-Plan can keep your dive plans so you can reload them later, duplicate them or move them from one device to another. Plans are stored on your device.

## Saving a plan

Once you have computed a plan on the [Plan](/mvplan/planification) page, click **Save Plan**. Give the plan a name and confirm. The whole plan is kept: segments, gases, settings and results.

## The list of plans

Each saved plan shows:

- its **name**;
- a **summary**: maximum depth, bottom time and runtime;
- its **metadata**: mode (OC or CCR), gradient factors and date of creation.

> **The runtime shown in the list is frozen at the moment you saved.** It is not recomputed when the list is drawn. Since the move to [real physical pressure](/mvplan/nouveau-modele-de-pression), a plan saved before that change recomputes with slightly longer stops: the summary in the list therefore reads shorter than what MV-Plan would compute today. Load the plan and run the calculation again to get today's figure. To find out which side of the change you are on, the [New pressure model](/mvplan/nouveau-modele-de-pression) page names the setting to look at in the application.

## What is saved, and what is not

A plan keeps its segments, its gases, its diluents, its calculation settings (gradient factors, rates, ppO2), its rebreather configuration and its **environment**, that is the water type and the altitude it was computed for.

Plans saved before that setting existed carry no environment. They are read back as computed **at sea level, in salt water**, and not with the environment currently shown in your [settings](/mvplan/reglages): it is the only fallback that does not turn a sea wreck plan into an altitude lake plan. Check the Environment line of a loaded plan, and compute it again if MV-Plan warns that it was calculated for another water type or another altitude.

Loading a plan deliberately clears the old result: nothing shows until you run **Calculate Decompression** again, and what you see then is always today's calculation.

## What you can do with a plan

The menu of each plan (three-dot icon) offers:

- **Load**: loads the plan back into the application and switches to the Plan page.
- **Rename**: changes the name of the plan.
- **Duplicate**: makes a copy of the plan.
- **Export**: downloads the plan to a file (JSON format).
- **Delete**: removes the plan after confirmation.

## Importing a plan

Click **Import** to load a plan from a file exported earlier. The imported plan is added to your list. This is how you move a plan from one device to another, or share it with a buddy who uses MV-Plan.

If the file is not valid, an error message is shown and the import is cancelled.

## Empty list

If you have saved nothing yet, the page shows an invitation: compute a plan and save it to find it here.
