Undo signature manual edit?

General

I’m curious, I had a signature jump my Threshold Power way up, +30W, after a recent hard sprint workout that correctly set my peak power where it needs to be. The TP is definitely too high now and will result in workouts I cannot complete. I’ve manually set it back to more or less where it was before the breakthru. Effectively flagging that metric of the change while letting the PP reset higher. The MPA curve for that activity still looks reasonable and the TP is something that will result in more valuable workouts going forward.

Having done that, I am curious, is there a way to “undo” a manually overridden signature on a given workout? I don’t see anyway to go back to the signature that was originally calculated by Xert immediately post ride. I’m not trying to do it in this instance but am curious for the future - I may make a habit of writing down the Xert calculated signature before I start tweaking anything since it seems as soon as I hit save I lose the original 3 numbers for PP, TP and HiE.

What you could do is open the Activity and scroll to the bottom. Unlock the saved signature, click Previous button to go back to what it was before the ride started and then click Extract. This essentially replicates what the server did with your activity when it was received. An interesting thing to try is to up the PP and then click Extract to see what it would have done if it had a more accurate PP value at the start of the ride.

Ahhh, very interesting. Doing that, bumping the PP to a more reasonable number before and then extracting kept the TP much better behaved. Instead of a +30W increase in TP it only bumped it up +3W which puts it right on top of a nice round number I’d intuitively have estimated for my TP! Thanks for the insight.
