Editing a draft note

The note editor is fully editable until you finalize. Click into any section, type, save. There's no "edit mode" toggle.

What's editable

Subjective (or Data, in DAP)
Objective (SOAP only)
Assessment
Plan
Session Recap
Diagnosis (DSM-5-TR code picker — search by code or name, e.g. "F41.1" or "anxiety")

Edits autosave as you type, with a short debounce. There's no separate save button — close the session, come back tomorrow, your edits are still there.

What's not editable

The transcript (the source-of-truth from your session — editing it would mislead any future regeneration)
The session metadata (date, duration, audio file)

If the transcript is genuinely wrong (a misheard word that changes meaning), the right path is to edit the note directly to reflect what was actually said.

Tips for fast editing

The editor uses standard textareas — Cmd-Z (undo), Cmd-Shift-Z (redo) work as expected
Cmd-A selects all in the current section, useful for "this whole paragraph needs rewriting"
The transcript pane on the right (if shown) is for reference while you write — you can copy phrases out of it

When to edit vs regenerate

Edit when the note is mostly right but specific phrasing is off or facts are slightly wrong
Regenerate when the whole tone is off (too long, too short, wrong modality voice, missed a major topic), or when you want a different format

For partial regeneration of one section, use the regeneration approach with a revision instruction — you can tell the AI "make the assessment shorter" and only that section will change.

Editing after finalizing

Once you finalize a note, all sections become read-only. The Finalized indicator replaces the Finalize button. To edit again, you'd need to unlock — currently this requires clicking the session header and using the unlock action (or contact support if you don't see it).

The reason for the lock is medico-legal: a finalized note represents the official clinical record at a specific time. Editing it after the fact muddies that record.
