When you keep several people's charts in FateWay, select the person before writing the question. Then check the visible chart details. Mentioning a different name in a message is not a reliable way to change the information attached to a conversation.
The aim is to distinguish saved people, choose the intended record and notice when an older conversation refers to a different context. This guide concerns individual charts. Preparing a two-person reading is a separate task.
Saved charts make it possible to continue a reading instead of starting from scratch every time. In FateWay, the birth information gives a BaZi discussion its personal context; the report and subsequent questions add the experiences you want to understand. Keeping that context attached to the right person is what makes a later question about a new role, family event or relationship useful.
Follow one person from selection to follow-up
Imagine that you have saved three people: Alex from school, Alex from work and Jordan, your partner. You last used the workspace to discuss your colleague's responsibilities. Today you want to understand how Jordan approaches a change in family arrangements. This fictional example has two separate tasks: find Jordan's chart, then choose a conversation that actually concerns Jordan.
The name in your next message cannot complete both tasks. First select the saved person and check the visible details. Next decide whether you want an individual reading about Jordan's patterns or, with both people's agreement and information, a relationship reading about your interaction. Finally, bring the family situation into the appropriate discussion.
This sequence lets the product do something more useful than produce a description of an unspecified “Jordan”. It connects the actual chart context with a concrete experience, and gives you a matching place to return when the arrangement changes again.
Give each person a recognisable name
Use a name you will recognise when you return. If two people share a nickname, add a simple distinction, such as “Alex — school” and “Alex — work”. These are fictional examples. You do not need an identifying document number or private account details to make a label useful.
A name helps you navigate; it does not verify the birth information underneath it. For someone else's chart, use information they have agreed you may store. If you need the full date, time and location procedure, follow the birth-details guide.
Keep each person's record separate. Replacing all of Alex's birth details with Jordan's is not a sensible way to switch people: it makes the saved history harder to interpret and may affect later readings.
Choose a saved record before creating another
Open the workspace with the account where the charts were saved. FateWay's returning-user FAQ explains that saved charts and conversations can be reopened in the same account; you do not need to recreate a chart at every visit.
In the individual-chart card, use the arrow beside the card heading, labelled “Switch or create chart”, to open the chart list. Choose the saved person's entry there. The list's plus button is for creating a new chart, so you do not need it when the intended person is already saved. The selected individual entry has a check mark; still verify the resulting chart summary after returning to the workspace.
In the individual-chart selection, compare the name with the birth date and calendar information that is displayed. If two records have similar names, check the full birth-information summary before choosing which one to use. A matching name alone is weak evidence that you have found the right person.
Use this distinction:
| What you need | Appropriate next step |
|---|---|
| Another person is already saved | Select that existing record, then verify the resulting context |
| The person has no saved record | Use the available new-chart flow and give the record a distinct name |
| A saved person's details need correcting | Inspect that person's editable record and review the changes before confirming |
| You want to discuss two people together | Use the pair-reading context and confirm both people, rather than treating an individual selection as a pair |

Creation and editing may have access or credit conditions. A visible option does not establish unlimited creation or free changes.
Verify the switch, not just the click
After selecting a record, read the person shown in the chart heading or summary. Compare at least two identifying details: the name and the birth date or calendar. If you need to distinguish similar entries, inspect the additional saved details.
Only then write the question. A closed selection list does not by itself establish that the active person changed. If the action is unavailable or an operation is still running, follow the displayed explanation rather than sending a question under an uncertain context.
For example, imagine you have just read Alex's report and now want to discuss Jordan's response to a family situation. Select Jordan's record and check its details before asking. Writing “Now tell me about Jordan” in Alex's existing exchange leaves room for confusion about what material the question refers to.
Turn the correct selection into a useful question
Once Jordan's context is confirmed, choose the relevant material before asking for more interpretation. If an existing report discusses responsibility or support, read that passage and identify what you want explained. You can refer to its wording and add the real situation: “This section discusses taking responsibility. Our family schedule is changing; Jordan volunteers quickly but later feels overloaded. How is that pattern being interpreted here, and what should we discuss about the new arrangement?”
This is an example question, not a prediction that the product will return a particular answer. Its value is that the person, source passage and event are explicit. You can check whether the explanation actually addresses those things rather than accepting a broadly relatable character description.
An individual reading concerns that person's chart. If you want to compare two people's approaches, move to the available pair-reading context and verify both people and the intended relationship or cooperation setting. Saving Jordan as an individual does not by itself establish which second chart a pair discussion uses. The compatibility-input guide explains how to prepare that different question.
FateWayContinue with the person you intended
Verify the saved chart and matching conversation, then bring one concrete situation into the reading.
Open my saved chartsSign in and add birth details to use the workspace. Review the conditions for reports and follow-up questions.
Check the person again in an older conversation
A conversation can retain the chart and version associated with it. Selecting a person elsewhere should not be taken as proof that every saved exchange now concerns that person.
When you reopen a conversation, inspect its attached person and birth-information context before following up. The public FAQ recommends returning to the original conversation to continue a previous topic. That preserves the discussion, but it also makes checking the original subject important.
If you discover that an answer concerns the wrong person, stop applying it to the intended person. Return to the correct saved record or matching conversation, verify the context, and ask there. Renaming the wrong record cannot make an answer based on someone else's details applicable.
Recover from a mix-up without creating another one
Suppose you notice that the response describes your colleague's circumstances rather than Jordan's. First identify what was selected or attached to the exchange. Do not overwrite the colleague's birth information to make the heading match your intended question. That would create a second problem in the saved history.
Return to Jordan's record, confirm the summary and open or continue the appropriate discussion. You can state the correction plainly: “My earlier question was sent in a different person's context. This question concerns Jordan and the family situation described below.” Restate the relevant situation there instead of assuming a different conversation has automatically supplied it.
If the correct person was selected but the answer still imported someone else's situation, point out the mismatch and ask it to distinguish supplied facts from interpretation. A familiar sentence is not evidence that every underlying detail is correct. The useful recovery ends with a clearly matched person and question, not merely a more reassuring response.
Tidy a confusing label carefully
Where editing is available, confirm the person before changing the name. Review the whole form so that a label change does not accidentally become a birth-date change. Read any confirmation and access conditions before saving, then inspect the resulting summary.
If editing is restricted, leave the record intact and use the available details to distinguish it. The useful finish is a clearly identified person and a matching conversation, not a perfectly organised list at any cost.
Return when life adds a new chapter
After the family arrangement has been tried, reopen the same relevant conversation and check its person again. Add what happened: which commitments worked, where overload appeared and what Jordan now wants to understand. The report-reading guide can help turn a passage into a focused follow-up.
You now have continuity across the chart, the original interpretation and the later experience. This is useful for exploring how personal characteristics and changing life stages are interpreted together. It does not require creating a new identity for each situation or replacing every earlier report.
Before leaving, make sure you can answer three questions: whose birth information is selected, which report or conversation you are using, and what you want to discuss next. Those answers matter more than how many saved charts you have or how tidy their names look.
