Edit any AI summary in Plaud Web: correct details, refine wording, or add context as needed.
What is summary editing?
Plaud Web lets you edit the summary attached to any recording. Click into the text to start editing so you can correct, refine, or expand the summary. Edits save automatically with the recording.
How to edit a summary?
- Hover your mouse cursor over the text to start editing.
- Double-click the left mouse button to edit.
- Click the side button to edit the paragraph.
How to change the title of a recording?
By default, Plaud names each recording after its end time. To set a custom title, open the recording and click the title to edit it directly. The change saves automatically.
How to add or delete photos in a summary?
When you generate a summary using a template, Plaud may include default photos in the output. You can delete these default photos directly in the summary. To add a photo, copy it and paste it directly into the summary.
Limits and tips for editing
- Edits save automatically. Your changes save with the recording. There's no save button.
- Your transcript is unchanged. Editing a summary only changes the summary text. The recording's transcript stays intact.
- Edits sync across platforms. Summaries edited in Plaud Web appear updated in the Plaud App automatically.
FAQ about editing summaries
Can I undo my edits to a note?
While editing, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Cmd+Z (Mac) to undo. Once you exit the summary, edits are saved and cannot be undone.
Will my edits be lost if I regenerate the summary?
Yes. Regenerating a summary creates a new version from the transcript and replaces your edited version. To keep your edits, copy them before regenerating.
Where do my edited notes show up?
Edited summaries appear on the same recording across Plaud App and Plaud Web.
Can I delete a summary?
Deleting the summary module is not currently supported — transcription and summary are generated together. If you want to remove the summary content, select all the text in the summary and delete it manually.
Can I customize how recordings are named?
You can rename any recording manually. By default, Plaud names each recording after its end time, but you can open the recording and click the title to set any title you want, including one with a date such as 2026-06-12. Renaming files in bulk is not currently supported, and you can’t set a custom file name for files forwarded through AutoFlow.
