Fix one problem before you copy

Step 1 of 6

Opening your saved place…

Choose the fix

Name what needs to change.

One clear fix is easier to check than “make this better.” Name the flaw: a wrong time, an added claim or a changed request.

If there is more than one flaw, work through them. Fixing one does not make the rest of the note right.

Small changes can be easier to review.

A made-up room meeting

Remove the added line.

Starting example

The room meeting is Thursday evening. Please bring notes.

The supplied facts say only: the room meeting is Thursday evening. The request for notes was added.

Revised request

Remove “Please bring notes.” Keep the rest of this draft: The room meeting is Thursday evening. Please bring notes.

An example AI reply

The room meeting is Thursday evening.

The new draft keeps the known day and time of day. It adds no new request. There was no exact start time in the facts, so none was guessed.

Try the fix yourself

Keep the facts. Remove the extra rule.

The notice has no dress rule. Keep the day, time and paper request.

Start with a few words, or look at the example first.
