Event controls area
On a single session Pre-recorded event, the Event controls area appears on the lower part of the Overview page.
Select the edit icon next to any control to open the editor. In the editor, the controls appear as tabs:
- Basics
- Captions
- Attachments

The tab you select will be active, and you can switch to any of the others.
When a tab is open, you’ll also see a Create with AI button and a three-dot menu. These actions are available across all tabs. For details, see Global actions below.
Basics tab
The Basics tab allows you to enrich and repurpose your content, add tags, and activate the AI assistant.
Tags
Apply existing or create new useful, relevant tags for your event to help categorize it.
Tags are visible to event attendees.
To add tags, start typing the first few letters of a tag and a list of matching tags will populate for you. Click to select the checkbox next to the desired tag.
If it's a new tag, a +Create tag [tag name] pops up. Click to + to add it.
To remove a tag from a session, click the X next to the desired tag.
For full details, see Activate AI assistant for your session.
AI Assistant
You can activate the AI assistant in the Basics tab. The 'AI assistant' provides real-time insights to help moderators understand attendee activity and engagement during the live session.
Certification
Select the checkbox to assign the session to your Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program.
Additional information
This section appears only when your account uses custom metadata. Use these fields to capture additional session details. Some fields may be required for CPE certificate generation.
Save your work
After updating any information on the Basics tab - like session title, description, tags, etc. - make sure to click Save changes.
If there are unsaved changes, a red dot appears next to the Basics tab and a warning will display if you try to navigate away. Saving your changes removes the red dot and ensures your updates are applied immediately.
Captions tab
Use the Captions tab to order captioning for your session or view the status of caption requests.
To manage captions for session recordings, use the Captions tab on the recording itself.
For complete guidance, see:
- Order captions for a session recording

Attachments tab
Use the Attachments tab to add downloadable files to your event, such as slides, documents, images, or supporting media. Attachments appear on the event page for attendees.
For full instructions, see Upload & manage attachments for your event.
