Update System Summary

Refresh card content based on your current system map.

What It Does

Update System Summary analyses the elements connected to a summary card and regenerates its content to reflect the current state of your map. This is useful when:

  • You've expanded your map and want summaries to reflect new elements

  • The system has evolved and existing summaries are outdated

  • You want AI-generated insights based on the visible relationships

How to Use

  1. Go to the Modify Map tab

  2. Select a summary card plus at least 3 connected elements

  3. Click Update System Summary

The AI will analyse the selected elements and generate updated content for the card.

Requirements

  • 1 card selected (the summary to update)

  • 3+ elements selected (the system context)

What Gets Updated

The summary card's content is replaced with:

  • Overview of the selected system elements

  • Key relationships and patterns identified

  • Insights based on the current structure

What Stays the Same

  • Card position and size

  • Card styling and colour

  • Connections to other elements

Tips for Better Summaries

Provide Context

Select elements that are relevant to the summary's topic. The more focused your selection, the more relevant the generated content.

Include Connections

Make sure to select elements that are connected to each other. Isolated elements provide less context for the AI.

Review and Edit

The generated summary is a starting point. Feel free to edit, expand, or refine the content manually.

Select Complete Context

For best results, select the entire map, including the summary card, all connected elements, and any citation cards. The AI uses your full selection as context, so a broader selection produces more comprehensive and accurate summaries.
