| 18 | +# Use row summaries in model-driven apps |
| 19 | +The **Row summary** feature in model-driven apps provides users with a concise, AI-generated overview of key details about a record (row). Displayed within the **AI assistance** area at the top of main forms, the summary helps users quickly understand essential information without manually scanning through fields, related records, or activity timelines. Summaries are presented in either a paragraph or bullet point format, ensuring clarity and ease of consumption. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The feature enhances user efficiency by delivering context-rich insights directly within the form. Users can interact with summaries to copy content, regenerate updated information, and provide feedback on their relevance, improving both usability and accuracy. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +> [!IMPORTANT] |
| 24 | +> - This feature is in public preview for Dynamics 365 apps. |
| 25 | +> - Preview features aren’t meant for production use and might have restricted functionality. |
| 26 | +> - Preview features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback. |

| 36 | +### Viewing the record summary |
| 37 | +- When a [table has been configured to display summaries](../maker/data-platform/configure-form-row-summary.md#create-a-row-summary), the record summary will appear in the **AI assistance** area at the top of the main form. |
| 38 | +- The summary content is dynamically generated and presented in a clear paragraph or bullet point format, emphasizing key details about the record. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +> [!NOTE] |
| 41 | +> Record summaries only appear after a new record has been successfully saved. For unsaved records, the summary area remains hidden. |
