# Editing Summaries

> Correct a name, tighten an action item, or restructure a section — edit any AI summary directly in the page.

The AI summary is a starting point, not a locked document. You can edit it directly — fix a misheard name, sharpen an action item, or reorganize a section before you share it.

## Edit a summary

1. Open the meeting and go to the **Summary** tab.
2. **Click into the summary** and start typing.

Changes **save on their own**. There's no Save button.

## Formatting

Select any text and a formatting toolbar appears with:

* **Text** — a dropdown for heading levels
* **Bold**, *italic*, underline, and strikethrough
* **Bulleted lists** and **numbered lists**

Markdown shortcuts also work as you type — `# ` for a heading, `- ` for a bullet.

## What stays intact when you edit

|                           | Behavior                                                                   |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Timestamp links**       | Keep working — you can still click through to that moment in the recording |
| **Exports**               | Word, PDF and Markdown exports reflect your edits                          |
| **Recap language switch** | Your edits carry over into the new language version                        |
| **Transcript and audio**  | Untouched — editing the summary never changes the underlying record        |

## Before you edit

<Warning>
  Summaries don't keep a version history. Once you edit, the original AI draft **can't be restored**. If you want to keep the untouched version, [export it](/meetings/export) first.
</Warning>

Switching to a different [template](/meetings/custom-templates) regenerates the summary from the transcript, so treat a regeneration the same way — export first if the edited version matters.

<Tip>
  Editing the summary is the fastest fix for a one-off wording problem. If the same term is transcribed wrongly across many meetings — a product name, a client name, internal jargon — that's a vocabulary problem, not an editing problem. Raise it with your admin rather than fixing it by hand every week.
