| 6 | +# **Editing and Updating CRM Memos** |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Django CRM allows users to edit or update existing [memos](notes-crm.md) — CRM notes — while maintaining |
| 9 | +full transparency over who made changes and when. A memo can be edited only by its **owner (author)** |
| 10 | +or **recipient**, ensuring controlled access and accountability. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +--- |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## **Who Can Edit a Memo** |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +* **The owner (author)** can edit or delete the CRM memo while its status is **Pending**. |
| 17 | +* **The recipient** can update the memo’s status to **Reviewed** or **Postponed**. Once the recipient changes the status, the author loses the ability to edit or delete the memo. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The **"Modified By"** field displays the name of the last user who edited the memo, and you can view the **entire edit history** by clicking the **History** button. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +--- |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## **Forwarding and Status Updates** |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Recipients can **forward a memo** to another user by selecting a new recipient. This allows the memo to move through the appropriate approval or review chain. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Changing a memo’s status helps track progress and ensure that each note receives timely attention. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +--- |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## **Creating a Task or Project as a result of reviewing the Memo** |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +The recipient can **[create a task](creating-assigning-tasks.md) or project** directly from a memo. In this case: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +* All memo data, including attached files, will be automatically transferred. |
| 36 | +* The memo’s **author and subscribers** will become **subscribers to the new task or project** and will receive notifications. |
| 37 | +* The recipient can add their own notes or conclusions in the **“Conclusion”** field. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +If a task or project has been created, a **button to view it** will appear in the memo. |

| 45 | +## **Creating Reminders or New Memos** |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +You can easily create a **reminder** or a **new note** based on the current memo by clicking the **Copy** button. This simplifies repetitive documentation and helps track related activities. |

| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## **Using the Built-in Chat** |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Every memo has a **built-in chat** where users can discuss its contents and coordinate updates. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +* The **author** can use the chat to comment or provide updates after the memo is reviewed (since direct editing will no longer be available). |
| 58 | +* If a **task or project** has been created based on the memo, further discussions should continue in the corresponding **task or project chat**. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +--- |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +## **Additional Options** |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +If the memo was originally created from a **deal**, a **“View deal”** button will appear, allowing you to quickly navigate to the associated CRM record. |

| 69 | + |
| 70 | +By providing structured permissions, detailed history tracking, and integration with tasks, |
| 71 | +projects, and chats, Django CRM ensures that memo management remains transparent and efficient. |
