1. For this example, we'll look at an existing recurring order

2. The recurring order is every week for basil

3. There are currently five child orders. Four child orders are "In Progress," which means they're underway. The last child order is "Planned," which means it hasn't started yet

4. Let's edit the contents to learn more about what it means to "Modify In Progress Orders." Click "Options" then "Edit Contents"

5. So far, we haven't changed anything. This is what our form looks like

6. We can read the tooltip for the button "Modify In Progress Order." When you modify a recurring order, the software applies the changes starting with the next "Planned" child order. Edits to a recurring order will skip anything "In Progress." They will apply to the next order that hasn't started. By selecting to "Modify In Progress Orders," you override this default and apply changes to every order

7. Let's see what happens when we add another product to the order, like broccoli. Adding another product, without changing anything else, won't change the aforementioned default. The changes will take place, but only starting with the next "Planned" order and onward

8. The magic happens when we decide to "Modify In Progress Orders"

9. As the name implies, the software will now apply your edits to the in progress orders. Each in progress order will turn into a dropdown to show you what will happen to each. We didn't change the original basil product, so it remains as "No Change" for all four in progress orders. For July 27th, it's too late to plant broccoli, but Microgreen Manager knows there's some broccoli surplus. It will assign 0.38 trays of surplus broccoli to the order, and then create a deficit for the remaining amount. Same for July 4th. For July 11th and July 18th, there's enough time to grow the broccoli, so Microgreen Manager will create new plantings to meet that demand
