How to ride and read the roadbook

Can I edit and re-upload a roadbook? Will results recalculate?
Updated
Yes. You can edit the original roadbook file and upload it again at any time. When the
track belongs to an event, uploading a new version automatically re-reads the file and recalculates
the whole event - results, penalties, nominal times and standings positions all update to
match the new roadbook. Only the latest uploaded roadbook version is used for event results.
The recalculation runs automatically in the background, so on large events the new results appear after a short processing delay.
Keep a backup so you can revert

Keep a backup so you can revert
There is currently no automatic version history to roll back to, and the platform only keeps the file it is actually
using. Before you re-upload, download the current file if needed (the “Download” link on
the track’s Roadbook / GPX page). To go back to a previous version,
simply upload that file again - this creates a new version and recalculates the event once more.
Note: only tracks attached to an event recalculate event results. A standalone track (not part of an event)
just creates another track version when you re-upload - nothing is recalculated.
