To modify an existing formation:

Changes to a formation do not automatically update plays using that formation. Plays store a copy of the formation at the time it was applied.

  2. Click Delete or the trash icon
  3. Confirm deletion
warning

Deleting a formation doesn't affect plays already using it—they retain their player positions.
