| 22 | + |
| 23 | +If there isn’t an option to add a new line, you can adjust the end/start time of the relevant transcript lines to fit a new line in your desired place. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Choose an existing line in the transcript line, click the **three dots** icon, select edit and change the time stamp accordingly. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 28 | +> New lines will not appear as part of the **From transcript edits** in the **Content model customization** under languages. |
| 29 | +> |
| 30 | +> While using the API, when adding a new line, **Speaker name** can be added using free text. For example, *Speaker 1* can now become *Adam*. |
| 31 | +

| 34 | +While in the edit mode, select the three dots icon. The editing options were enhanced, they now contain not just the text but also the timestamp with accuracy of milliseconds. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Delete line |
