# **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.

## **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.

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+

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.

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.
