If something does not work
I cannot press Approve
If Approve is pale and pointing at it says “Only the person who recorded this meeting can create, regenerate or approve its minutes.”, you did not record this meeting. Correct the draft, save it, and ask the person who recorded it to approve.
Pressing Approve does not open the question
If “An item has no title. Enter a title or delete that item.” appears, enter a title in the item that opened or delete that item, then press Approve again.
If “This draft was updated in another screen, so your changes were not saved. Loading the latest version discards the unsaved changes on this screen.” appears, note the changes you want to keep, press Load the latest version, check the minutes and approve again.
The question says transcript changes are not in this version
It appears when the transcript was corrected or cut after the minutes were made. To bring the changes into the minutes, close the question and press Regenerate. To approve the minutes as they are, press Approve anyway.
The approval did not go through
If the question says “Couldn't run the approval. Please try again.”, press Approve again.
If it says “This draft was updated in another screen, so it was not approved. The latest version is now shown. Check it, then approve again.”, check what is now shown, then press Approve again.
I found something to correct after approving
On the approved minutes, press Edit in the Minutes pane (on a phone, Edit under ⋯ More actions) to correct the minutes. Saving your corrections makes a new draft, and the approved version stays as it is. Then the person who recorded the meeting approves it again. See “Revise approved minutes” for details.
