Need to clear out a wave before moving on to the next one? No problem! Here’s how you can do it in just a few clicks.

1. Head over to your cycle's **Settings** page \> **Planning Hierarchy** tab.
2. Select the wave you want to remove users from.
3. Click the “**Clear All Users in this Wave**” button.

5. Review the Roles (Planner, Planning Partner, etc) columns to make sure all users have been detached.

💡 **Tip:** Always double‑check the roles column after clearing users. It’s the quickest way to confirm that no one still has access.

✨ **Note:** This feature is especially beneficial for cloned cycles, as it ensures that no non‑admin users can access the new cycle during its implementation stage.
