The 5 steps of a meeting

Prepare your meetings in teams, take minutes in real time and track the tasks assigned from one meeting to the next. WEDO will guide us through 5 steps: before, during and after the meeting.


Before the meeting


Step 1 - Meeting In preparation


The first step allows you to prepare your meeting.


  • In a few clicks, add your meeting and set the title, attendees, date, start and end times as well as the frequency and location.
  • Then, create your agenda by adding the ** topics** that will be discussed in the meeting.
  • Define the presenters for each topic.
  • Document the agenda by attaching the necessary files and add your private notes if necessary.
  • Import the tasks to be treated in the meeting.
  • Manage the access rights to the meeting.


💡 You can prepare the agenda in teams with the multiple editing mode.


💡 Navigate from one topic to another from the table of contents


Step 2 - Validated Agenda


  • When each attendee has prepared his or her meeting, you can move on to step 2: validated agenda.
  • Send an Email to attendees to notify them when the agenda is ready.


💡 Each attendee can then come and consult the agenda in real time according to their access rights.


During the meeting


Step 3 - Meeting Ongoing


  • On the day of the meeting, go to Step 3 - Ongoing.
  • At the beginning of the meeting, manage the attendees from the attendee list.
  • Write the meeting minutes by adding content blocks.
  • Navigate from one topic to the next using the table of contents or the arrows at the bottom of each topic.
  • To advance your agenda, rule on each topic during the meeting. Choose whether the topic is Addressed, To Be Reviewed, or To Be Postponed.


💡 When you rule on a topic, the next topic is automatically displayed on the screen to continue writing the meeting minutes.


After the meeting


Step 4 - Meeting minutes In review


  • At the end of the meeting, click on Step 4 - Review.
  • Review your meeting minutes and make any necessary corrections.
  • Email attendees to let them know when the meeting minutes are available for review.
  • Export the meeting minutes as a PDF if you need to print them.


Step 5 - Locked Meeting


  • If this was not done during the meeting, WEDO prompts you to rule on the topics before locking - you can choose to mark them as All addressed or Revisit all at the next meeting.
  • Lock the meeting when the meeting minutes have been reviewed and approved.


💡 Lock the meeting so that the meeting minutes cannot be changed.


Prepare for the next meeting
