## Overview

This guide will explain how to complete an action assigned to you, and how to comment on actions.

Search for specific actions using the custom search bar.

Magic Minutes automatically populates the minutes of a follow-on meeting with outstanding actions.  It can therefore be helpful to add a comment to help explain progress or provide excuses!
