# Customize meeting summaries

> Choose a named format or customize how Auto writes meeting summaries.

Use a named template when you want fixed sections. Customize Auto when you want to control Anarlog's default summary prompt.

## Choose a template

Open a meeting and use the template picker beside **Summary**. Templates can emphasize decisions, action items, a one-on-one format, or another structure.

Changing the selected template does not rewrite an existing summary automatically. Regenerate the summary to apply the new template.

## Customize Auto

1. Open **Settings → Templates**.
2. Select **Auto**.
3. Edit **Summary format**, then click **Save**.

For example:

```text theme={null}
Start with decisions. Then list action items with an owner and due date. Keep background context to three bullets.
```

The editor controls the requested format. You can request paragraphs, bullets, or a mixture, including an executive overview. Crisp, Balanced, and Detailed control the amount of detail without forcing your format into bullet points.

Meeting notes, transcript, session details, and participants are always sent separately. Editing the format cannot remove that source material.

The Auto prompt applies only when **Auto** is selected. Named templates continue to use their configured sections and do not inherit the Auto customization. Use **Reset to default format** to restore the built-in prompt.

## Improve names and specialized terms

Under **Settings → Dictionary**, add names, acronyms, product names, and other terms that transcription often gets wrong.

The dictionary helps recognition, but it does not replace choosing the correct spoken languages or a model that supports them. See [Languages](/languages) for multilingual meetings.

## Apply your changes

New summaries use the currently selected format. Regenerate an older summary when you want it to use the latest template or Auto prompt.
