Embedded Items
Issues and tasks can be added to the Agenda and Minutes components. These are the same issues and tasks that you find elsewhere in the project.
Issues and tasks can be added as either new items or referenced items.
New Items
You can create new issues and tasks directly from a meeting. Issues and tasks created in the meeting are listed in the Issues and Tasks components of the meeting. Issues maintain the same phase as their originating meeting while tasks do not have a phase.
Referenced Items
You can add references to issues and tasks that already exist in the project. References are included in the agenda or minutes of a PDF reports from the meeting. Referenced items will not be included in the Issues or Tasks components of of the meeting.

Editing Embedded Items
You can move, edit, or remove embedded items from your meeting agenda or minutes. To perform an action on an embedded item, click on the item. A menu with the options to Move, Edit, or Remove appears.
Moving an Embedded Item
Click Move from actions menu of the embedded item. The content of the agenda or minutes expands to show drop areas for moving the item. As you hover over a drop area, the text Move Here appears. Click in the drop area to move the selected item.
Editing an Embedded Item
Click Edit from the actions menu of the embedded item. The edit form opens in a window. Make your changes and click Save.
Removing an Embedded Item
To remove an embedded item, click Remove from the actions menu of the embedded item. Confirm the action in the window that appears.
For items created in the current meeting, you have the option to Remove Reference Only from the agenda or minutes or to Remove Reference and Delete the actual issue or task. This is an important distinction to make because removing a reference to an issue or task does not delete the issue or task. The item can still be found in either the Issues or Tasks component of the meeting, and you can add the reference back later. Deleting reference will not only remove the reference from the content but also delete the actual issue or task record from the project.
For referenced items created outside of the current meeting, you only have the option to Remove Reference. These issues and tasks cannot be deleted from the meeting because they were created outside of the meeting. To delete these items, go directly to the issue, task, or its containing record.
When you add or remove a reference, the meeting is saved and the changes are reflected in the meeting overview accordingly.
