Review Agenda Topics Before Generating Minutes

NEW Meetings Meeting Organisers

Why we built this

An agenda title alone may not make its intended topic clear. Reviewing the topic assigned to each item gives the meeting organiser a chance to correct an ambiguous choice before the minutes are drafted.

How it works

In meeting setup, select the agent to match against and review the topic selection beside each agenda row. Choose a different topic where needed, or edit a suggested title before accepting it. Reviewed agenda changes save automatically once editing is closed; the Agenda header shows when they have been saved. An unmatched item remains available for review rather than being presented as a confirmed match.

What to do

Open meeting setup with an agent linked to published topics. Check the assignments, close any open edits and wait for Saved before continuing.

Manage Committee Topic Sets in the Topic Library

NEW Topic Library Topic Editors

Why we built this

Each committee has its own context and preferred wording. A dedicated Topic Library gives editors one place to find and maintain the topic sets behind those meeting minutes.

How it works

The Topic Library lists your organisation’s committees and shows whether each has a published topic-set version. Open studio to continue working on a committee’s topics, or add a committee to start a new set. Rename and delete controls keep the list manageable, while Styling templates and Training are available from the same page.

What to do

Open Topic Library, find the committee you want to work on and select Open studio. Use Styling templates to manage the formatting that accompanies your topic sets.

IMPROVEMENTS

Keep Alternative Wording Through Topic Studio Edits

IMPROVED Topic Studio Topic Editors

Why we updated this

A topic may contain alternative outcomes, such as approving an appointment or recommending it to the Board. Ordinary edits should preserve those named alternatives rather than flattening them into a single piece of text.

How it works now

Topic Studio retains the alternative wording structure through draft edits and presents the choices with a readable OR chip. Named options remain together when you save and reopen the topic.

What to do

Open a topic containing alternatives, make your edit and save. Reopen it to review the named options alongside your updated wording.
