Rename a transcript

Give a library transcript a clearer file name (and rename linked working-copy audio when present) from Rename Transcript.

Outcome

You will have renamed the planning-review sample to a deliberate new stem and confirmed Library lists the new name.

Starting point

The sample is imported (see First analysis). You do not need a completed analysis run for rename itself.

What you’ll do

  1. Open Rename Transcript.

  2. Select the planning-review transcript.

  3. Review the preview clips / current stem when shown.

  4. Enter a new file name and submit Rename.

  5. Confirm Library shows the new name.

Walkthrough

  1. Open Rename Transcript from the sidebar workflow section.

  2. Choose the planning-review transcript in the page picker. Skim the content preview if shown so you are renaming the intended recording.

  3. Under Rename transcript, note Current file name. New file name may already be prefilled:

    • Device recording names → YYMMDD_ date root (optional period token button).

    • Descriptive titles → YYMMDD_ plus an underscore version of the title, with word token buttons to tweak.

    • Click Suggest names (transcript + LLM) for transcript/LLM/web candidates in Suggested names (works even when Settings content rename suggestions are off). When the current name is already a descriptive title, its underscore form is always listed there. Edit the field as needed (for example planning_review_launch or a YYMMDD_-prefixed stem).

  4. Submit Rename. A success message reports the old and new base names (and whether linked audio was renamed).

  5. Open Library and confirm the transcript list / picker shows the new stem. Downstream outputs stay associated via managed identity; if a run was open, re-select the transcript if the sidebar label looks stale.

Settings → Configuration → Rename controls smart prefill (smart_rename_mode), content suggestions (rename_content_suggestions), and which cues run (transcript / LLM / web). Nothing is renamed until you submit Rename. Web lookup sends a short event query, not the transcript body. Library-wide cache warm: llm-suggestion-batch.md. Knob reference: settings.md.

What to notice

  • Rename updates managed library naming; it is not an export/share step.

  • Prefer descriptive stems early — Speaker ID, groups, and exports are easier to recognise later.

  • If the picker is empty, import or transcribe first; rename only operates on managed paths. Archived transcripts are omitted from pickers unless they are the current sidebar selection — Archive a transcript.

You should now have…

A renamed planning-review transcript visible in Library under the new stem.
