The things that most often look broken in Method but are working as intended.

A session you started but never saved is still a draft, and drafts stay out of
  History. Check whether the resume bar is still showing on iOS. If it is, the
  session is unsaved. See
  [Planned vs completed](/docs/planned-vs-completed-training).

  A program has to be **active** to appear on the calendar. Building and saving
  a program leaves it unscheduled. Activate it from the program page.

  That is the free account window. Method Pro keeps your full history. Older
  records stay stored and reappear when Pro is active.

  Active or scheduled content requires Advanced fields. Method names the program
  or schedule holding the requirement. Archive, complete, or unschedule it
  first. See [Basic vs Advanced tracking](/docs/basic-vs-advanced-tracking).

  Smart loads need Advanced tracking enabled and enough recent history for that
  movement. Method leaves the field blank until it has both.

  Muscle coverage reads the target muscles on each exercise record. If the
  exercise has no targets set, its sets are reported separately as
  unattributed. Fix the record in the
  [exercise library](/docs/exercise-library).

  Use **Restore purchases** on the iOS subscription screen. If the subscription
  was bought on web, sign in with the same account. See
  [Subscription and billing](/docs/subscription-and-billing).

  Correct it on the summary page before saving. Pace recalculates from the
  corrected distance. See
  [Track cardio](/docs/track-cardio-and-review-activities).

  That is intended. Completed records keep the prescription they were trained
  with, so program edits leave past training alone.

## Still stuck

  - [Contact support](/support) Include your account email and the exact state that looks wrong.

  - [Analytics methodology](/docs/analytics-methodology) Every formula behind the numbers, if something looks miscalculated.
