Review and clean up a discovered process – Tekst

When Tekst finishes analyzing your conversations, it presents a draft process map built from everything it discovered. The raw result is usually close but rarely perfect: there may be duplicate steps, noisy activities, or steps that need a clearer name. This article explains how to refine the draft so the map reflects how your team really thinks about the work.

If you have not created a process yet, see the "Set up your first process" article first.

Where you do this

Open the draft process. The activities are listed in the Activities tab of the side panel, grouped into Active, Added, and Inactive. You can act on activities from this list or directly on the map.

Rename an activity

Discovered names are a starting point. To rename a step, hover the node on the map and select the edit (pencil) action, or use the activity's menu in the list. Give it a clear, consistent name your team will recognize.

Merge duplicate steps

The analysis sometimes produces several activities that mean the same thing. To combine them, rename them to the same name - Tekst then merges them into a single step on the map. This is the main way to consolidate duplicate or near-duplicate activities and simplify the diagram.

Hide an activity

To remove a step from the map without losing it, hide it. Hover the node and select the hide action, or select activities in the list and choose Deactivate. Hidden activities move to the Inactive group and can be brought back at any time. Hiding is the right tool for rare or low-value steps that add noise.

Add an activity

If there is a step you want to track that was not discovered, select Add activity in the Activities tab and enter its name. Added activities appear in the Added group with a "Not mapped" badge, meaning they will be mapped into the process once you publish.

Describe an activity

For any step whose meaning is not obvious, add a short description. This documents what the step represents so teammates reading the map later understand it without guessing.

When you are happy

Once the map reads clearly - good names, duplicates merged, noise hidden, important steps added and described - you are ready to publish. See the "Publish a process" article.
