# Ask and edit with AI chat

Useful for the fiddly edits: adding a branch, renaming consistently, restructuring a flow you have already drawn.

## What it is good at

| **Ask**                                      | **Result**                                 |
| -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| Add an error path from the payment step      | A new branch, wired into the existing flow |
| Rename every occurrence of Customer to Buyer | Consistent renaming across the diagram     |
| Turn this flowchart into a sequence diagram  | A converted draft you then check           |

⚠️

**Check the whole diagram after a chat edit, not just the part you asked about.** Regeneration can quietly change layout or drop a node you did not mention.

## A few things that catch people out

* It edits the source, so every change is visible and reversible in version history.
* Ambiguous instructions produce confident wrong answers. Be specific about which node you mean.
* If a change goes badly, restore the previous version. See [Diagram version history](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/diagram-version-history.html).

_Describe the change, then read what actually changed._
