When you ask, the assistant changes your cards and topics, as you could yourself:
- It rewrites a card, keeping its images and the pages it’s from. Image cards it leaves to you.
- It moves cards to another topic, and flags or unflags them.
- It creates topics, renames them, changes their icon and color, and moves them into another topic or to the top.
- It archives topics, and moves cards and topics to the trash.
It never deletes anything for good: whatever it archives is in the Archive, and whatever it moves to the trash is in the Trash, where you can bring it back. Besides these, it writes cards (see Making cards with the assistant) and keeps a file you attached as a source of a topic.
When it asks first
Before some changes it asks you, as you chose under Before it changes something (see Instructions and settings). Its answer then ends with a card that lists the changes it would like to make, and nothing on it is changed until you choose:
- Approve makes them.
- Approve the rest of this turn makes them, and lets its other changes for the same message of yours go without asking. After your next message it asks again.
- Deny makes none of them.
The assistant then goes on, knowing what you chose. If you write a message instead, none of them is made. In the answer, each change then shows how it went: done, failed, denied, or not made.
Undo
Under an answer that changed something, Undo puts back what that answer changed, the changes you approved on its card included. Cards and topics go back to where they were, with the sources their cards stopped citing when they moved, a card gets its words back, flags are as they were, and what it archived or moved to the trash comes back. What it created goes to the trash, a topic only while it’s empty.
If you changed something since, Undo leaves it as it is, and tells you which. The answer then shows Undone, and the assistant learns of it with your next message.
