Bag Rebalance searches the item groups you choose and proposes a reviewed move list that fits the entered weight limits of two bags. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Bag Rebalance from Loadout. Choose two bags with known weight limits, or add the clearly labeled example journey. 2. Check which item groups may move after checking restrictions and ownership. Find a fitting move list and review each proposed transfer. 3. Apply the assignments, physically move and pack the items, then revisit departure checks. Share the move report if needed. Journey planning, departure checks, family packing, templates and loadout summaries remain available. Storage writes now roll back on failure, and unreadable journey files are preserved rather than replaced. WHAT TO KNOW Select up to 20 movable item groups. Unknown carried weights block a result. Critical, worn, buy-there and incompatible-owner items are protected. The exact bounded search minimizes weight moved, then group count. Limits and weights are entered by you; this does not verify airline rules or permitted contents. Applied items return to staged status and still need physical packing. A changed journey invalidates the proposal. iPhone and iPad.
