Edit or regenerate a summary and title

Everything the AI writes is a starting point: you can rename the recording, rewrite the notes in markdown, or override individual pieces like the overview and single action items. Clearing your edits brings the generated version back, and regenerating replaces the notes wholesale.

How do I rename a recording?

Tap the title — it shows Tap to rename — and type a new one, or use Rename recording in the recording's menu. A title you set yourself sticks: Canto only writes AI titles over default or calendar-seeded titles, so regeneration won't overwrite your rename.

How do I edit the notes?

Choose Edit summary on the recording's notes. The notes open as markdown — headings, bullets, and task lists all work. Save and your version is what everyone with access sees, marked Edited.

Your edit replaces the whole summary body. For smaller changes there are per-item overrides:

• The overview line can be edited on its own.
• Individual action items can be edited and reordered on the web — see Track action items across meetings.

How do I get the AI version back?

• On the web, choose Revert to generated summary.
• Anywhere, clearing your edited text and saving reverts to the generated notes — the AI version is kept underneath your edit, never deleted.

How do I regenerate the notes?

If the AI pass failed, the recording shows an AI failed — retry chip — tap it and the pipeline runs again on the existing transcript. Regeneration also runs automatically after retrying transcription, since new transcript text needs new notes.

What do others see?

Edits are shared. On a recording that's shared with you or with a Space, your saved edit updates the notes for everyone with access, the same way checkbox state is shared. See Who can do what on shared content?

FAQ

Does editing or regenerating cost anything?

No. Summaries and their regeneration are part of transcription, not metered like chat or template runs.

The AI overwrote my title

That shouldn't happen for titles you typed. Titles that came from the calendar event (a seeded meeting title) are treated as replaceable, so the AI may swap in a more descriptive one — rename manually if you want it fixed.
