How To Edit Summaries
What is Markdown?
In case you didn't know, the editing feature in Summarify uses a powerful formatting language called Markdown. While you may see it as a simple text summary editor, Markdown allows you to add formatting like bold, italics, headings, lists, and even links to your summaries. It's a great way to personalize and enhance your text with just a few simple symbols.
Here are some basic Markdown examples:
- Bold Text:
**This is bold text**
displays as This is bold text.
- Italic Text:
*This is italicized text*
displays as This is italicized text.
- Headings:
` # Heading 1 ## Heading 2 ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4
`
- Lists:
`
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
`
- Links:

will create a clickable link.
Note: Right now summarify only supports the above markdown formats
How to Use the Text Summary Editing Feature

- Navigate to the History Tab: To begin editing a summary, first go to the History tab. This tab contains all of your previously summarized YouTube videos.
- Choose a Summary to Edit: Select the summary you'd like to edit. Tap on the menu button located in the top-right corner of the summary card.
- Tap "Edit Summary": From the dropdown menu, tap "Edit Summary." This will open the summary, and you can begin editing the text.
- Edit the Summary: Use the editor to adjust your text as needed. You can add emphasis, structure, or links with Markdown to make your summary clearer and more engaging.

- Preview Your Edits: Tap on the magnifying glass icon in the center of the edit menu. This will show you a preview of how your edits will appear once the text is rendered.

- Save or Export Your Edits: After making your changes, you can:
- Save Edits: Keep the summary with your new changes for later.
- Export Edits: Export the summary directly as a PDF or raw text by tapping the export button.
By using this editor, you have full control over how your YouTube summaries look and feel before sharing or saving them.
