Open the case. 2. Press **Chronological narrative** . While it is being written, you see "The narrative is being written." You can edit once it is done. ### Edit by hand 1. Press **Edit** . 2. Change the text. 3. Press **Save** to keep your edits as a new version. Press **Done** to leave without saving. Hand edits are free. ### Ask the AI to change it Each AI change costs 10 credits. The 3 kinds are: | Change | What it does | How to start it | | --- | --- | --- | | Surgical fix | Rewrites only the passage you select | Select text, then Steer > Surgical fix | | Complete regeneration | Writes the whole narrative again | Steer > Complete regeneration | | Rewrite selection | Rewrites a passage the way you ask | Select text, then Rewrite selection | Steps for a steer: 1. Press **Steer** . 2. Pick the kind of change. 3. Say what you want. You can type or use the voice button. 4. Press **Apply surgical fix** or **Regenerate** . A full regeneration can take a few minutes. Keep the tab open. Records you have excluded are not used when the narrative is written again. If a change fails, the credits come back. ### Review before you accept The app shows the change before it replaces anything. 1. Switch between **Changes** and **Final text** to compare. 2. Use **Next change** and **Previous change** to step through. 3. Press **Accept changes** , or **Discard** to keep what you had. The old version stays in history either way. ### Go back to an earlier version 1. Press **History** . The count shows how many versions there are. 2. Pick a version and press **View changes** to compare it. 3. Press **Restore** to make it current. Restoring adds a new version. Nothing in the history is lost. Looking at old versions is free. ### Download Press the download icon to save the narrative as a PDF. To put the narrative inside a larger file, use a configured export. See [export your work](https://medrecords.ai/help/tasks/export/). ### Tips - Check facts in the narrative against the source before you quote it. See [check any fact against its source](https://medrecords.ai/help/tasks/verify-source/). - If the chip "Cites excluded records" shows, the text still uses records you have since excluded. Regenerate to drop them. ### Related help - [Read the medical chronology](https://medrecords.ai/help/tasks/chronology/) - [Create a report in Report Studio](https://medrecords.ai/help/tasks/report-studio/) - [Export your work](https://medrecords.ai/help/tasks/export/) - Read more about [narrative summaries](https://medrecords.ai/product/narrative-summary/).
