How to reorganise a storage without losing bottle positions

Renaming, reordering, renumbering and switching views never move a bottle. Only five things clear a bottle’s 3D position, and four of them warn you first.

What survives what

Section titled “What survives what”
What you do What happens to positions
Rename a section Nothing moves
Move Up / Move Down Nothing moves — the list order changes, not the slots
Row / Column view, Jump to Row Nothing moves — these change only what you are looking at
Change the Coordinate Origin Every coordinate in the collection is renumbered; no bottle moves
Modify a section to add a column, row or depth on the Left, Bottom or Front Every bottle stays in the same physical slot; the coordinates of the bottles already there are renumbered to make room
Tap a slot that already holds a bottle The button reads Replace — that bottle is pulled out and rejoins the list waiting to be placed
Duplicate a section, or a whole fridge An empty copy of the shape — removed slots included, bottles never
Modify a section to fewer rows or columns ⚠️ Only bottles left without a slot are unplaced — on the right, top or back by default, or on the left, bottom or front if you chose that side. Pulling out 3 bottles warns first
Remove bottle slots where a bottle sits ⚠️ That bottle is unplaced. Same warning
Delete a section ⚠️ Its bottles are unplaced but stay in your collection. You type CONFIRM
Change a bottle’s storage from the edit screen ⚠️ Cleared, with no warning
Delete a storage and Transfer the bottles ⚠️ Cleared; the bottles themselves move to the storage you pick

Filter your collection by Without a 3D position to round up anything left unplaced.

Reshaping a section safely

Section titled “Reshaping a section safely”
  1. Open the storage, find the section and tap its ⋯ menu.
  2. Tap Modify. The 3D view opens with Column, Row and Depth steppers.
  3. By default a column, row or depth is added or taken on the right, top or back. To change the other side instead, set Change on the to Left, Bottom or Front before you tap + or −. Not every shape offers it — where Change on the is missing, that section only grows and shrinks on the right, top or back.
  4. Set the new size and tap Save.
  5. If a bottle no longer has a slot, Pulling out 3 bottles appears — Cancel costs nothing.
Open a storage → Sections → ⋯ → Modify → Save

If Modify, Duplicate and Delete are missing from a section’s menu, that storage is one we built for you: only Rename stays, and wine cases remain editable.

Android and web

Section titled “Android and web”

On app.invintory.com a section’s ⋯ menu has the same Rename, Modify, Duplicate and Delete, greyed out on a storage we built. Modify there has the same Change on the choice.

On Android, Rename, Duplicate and Delete work, but reordering, Add bottles and Modify aren’t available yet. Reorder and reshape on iPhone, iPad or the web.
