I have the following rows
| UserShiftID | RowID | StartDateTime | EndDateTime |
| 1116 | 1 | 2017-08-04 11:45:44.0000000 -04:00 | 2017-08-04 16:45:44.0000000 -04:00 |
| 1131 | 2 | 2017-08-08 00:59:34.0000000 -04:00 | 2017-08-08 05:59:34.0000000 -04:00 |
| 1133 | 3 | 2017-08-09 11:41:03.0000000 -05:00 | 2017-08-09 11:50:13.0000000 -05:00 |

But I want in one row is StartDateTime to be EndDateTime from Row1 and then EndDateTime to be the StartDateTime from Row2….and so forth…
Any help is appreciated!

Please show us how you want the final output to look. It's not clear to me from your explanation.
Are you expecting a single line of output, regardless of how many rows are in the table? If not, how is one 'set' of rows differentiated from another?
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

It would really help if you would follow form rules, and actually post DDL along with sample data. Here's my guess at what you might have meant. You didn't even bother to tell us the name of this thing!
CREATE TABLE Timecards
(user_shift_id CHAR(4) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
start_shift_timestamp DATETIME(0) NOT NULL,
end_shift_timestamp DATETIME(0) NOT NULL,
CHECK (start_shift_timestamp < end_shift_timestamp));
I hope you understand that tables have to have keys, and I'm assuming that something starts before it ends. You did not bother to put any of these important constraints in your posting. However, you put in something you called a ROWID, which was a physical count of things. You're still thinking of a deck of punch cards or magnetic tape, aren't you?
If you just want to get the starting timestamp and an ending timestamp for the whole table:
SELECT MIN(start_shift_timestamp) AS strangely_aggregated_start_timestamp,
MAX( end_shift_timestamp) as strangely_aggregated_end_timestamp
FROM Timecards;
But this doesn't really make much sense. What are you trying to do?
Please post DDL and follow ANSI/ISO standards when asking for help.

when you save row 1, leave the end time null. when you save row 2, update the start time for row 2 and the end time for row one with the same datetime value, and repeat that for each additional row.

Don't store the end date at all. Use LEAD() to get the end date for one record from the start date from the next record.

Of course we don't know what the OP is using the table for and, of course, I know you already know this but saying it outloud for those that may not... IF the table is being used for temporal joins like you might find when using SCDs (Slowly Changing Dimensions), then the presence of an EndDateTime column will prove useful for performance.

I guess I don't understand why you're willing to destroy what are probably actual end times?

I'm not so sure about that. When an index has multiple range filters, the second range filter does not really add that much to the performance. I haven't done a test comparing the two approaches, and I don't really have time right now, but it would be interesting to compare.
