# People

> Filter notes by who was in the meeting, and rename or merge a person across every note and transcription.

When you name the speakers in a note, those names become people. The Notes page shows each note's people as avatars, and the **People** filter lists everyone, so you can find every meeting with a given person.

Only real names count. Unnamed speakers such as `Speaker 1` are not people. See [Speaker identification](/meeting-notes/diarization#name-the-speakers) to name speakers.

![The People filter open on the Notes page, listing people with their meeting counts](https://mintcdn.com/vowen/jjhC7JNGyK5c2anS/images/screens/notes-people-filter.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=jjhC7JNGyK5c2anS\&q=85\&s=eb89a4834b2070fd61505bcba5aff8ce)

## Filter notes by person

**1. Click People**

It is in the filter row on the **Notes** page, next to the tags.

**2. Pick one or more people**

Type in "Filter by person…" to search. The number next to each name is how many meetings they are in.

The list shows notes with any of the selected people. The button reads "2 people" while a filter is on. Click **Clear selection** to remove it.

## Rename a person everywhere

> [!NOTE]
>
> Coming in the next update.

Renaming in the People filter changes the name in every meeting note and manual transcription where it appears.

**1. Open the People filter**

Click **People** on the Notes page.

**2. Click the pencil next to the name**

It appears when you hover the row. A line under the field says how many items will change, for example "Renames Priya Shah in 3 meetings and 1 transcription." If the person has a [voice profile](/meeting-notes/voice-profiles), it adds "Also renames their voice profile."

**3. Type the new name and press Enter**

<kbd>Esc</kbd> cancels.

After a rename, a bar at the bottom of the window offers **Undo** for 8 seconds. Hovering the bar pauses the countdown.

To change one speaker in one note, use the note's **Speakers** tab instead.

## Merge two people

> [!NOTE]
>
> Coming in the next update.

If you rename a person to a name that already exists, Vowen merges them. It asks first: "Merge with {name}?". Every speaker with the old name takes the new one, and their voice profiles are combined.

If both names belong to different speakers in the same note or transcription, a warning says how many items are affected. Both speakers will show the same name there.

> [!WARNING]
>
> A merge cannot be undone.

## Sync

Renames and merges sync to your other devices through [Cloud Sync](/features/cloud-sync), and are applied there too.
