# How do I add an agenda for my meeting?

Agendas are created inside each meeting workspace. There is no separate top-level Agendas & Minutes area in the current BoardSite navigation.

> **Before you begin:** Create the meeting first. You also need permission to edit that meeting's agenda.

## Open the agenda

1. Open **Meetings** and select **Upcoming** or **Past**.
2. Select the meeting title.
3. In the meeting workspace, select the **Agenda** tab.

## Add an agenda heading

1. Select **Add Heading**.
2. Enter the agenda item description.
3. Optional: link an existing vote or select **Add Vote**.
4. Optional: choose a speaker or presenter.
5. Optional: associate the item with a committee.
6. Optional: select documents from the Document Library or upload new files.
7. Select **Add Heading** to save the item.

An agenda heading can include a vote, presenter, committee, and supporting documents.

## Organize the agenda

- Use the item controls to edit or remove a heading.
- Add a child item under an existing heading to create a subheading.
- Use the move controls to reorder items. Available controls depend on the item's current position.
- Select **Download Agenda** when you need a downloadable copy.

## Change the agenda status

1. Select **Change Status** on the Agenda tab.
2. Choose **Draft**, **Published**, or **Approved**.
3. Optional: select the email-notification option. Notifications are sent only to members who can access the meeting.
4. Select **Change**.

- **Draft:** keeps the agenda in preparation and limits member visibility.
- **Published:** makes the agenda visible to permitted meeting participants.
- **Approved:** records that the agenda has been approved and prevents ordinary future editing.

> **Committee meetings:** Visibility and status notifications are limited to people who have access to the committee meeting.

## Troubleshooting

- If the Agenda tab is visible but editing controls are missing, ask an administrator to review your meeting and agenda permissions.
- If a document is missing from the library picker, confirm that you can access its folder or committee.
- If members cannot see the agenda, check both the agenda status and the meeting's status and visibility.
