# `record.edited`

Generated record was edited by hand.

Area 18, [Records and manifest](../topics/records-and-manifest.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

A record is never edited by hand. Here someone added a note to the API
record, which Jadpo never writes:







```jadpo
// Generated by Jadpo from the routes of API main; update it with `jadpo api update`, never by hand.
record api 1

POST /memos
    authentication none
    input AddMemo (body)
    output MemoView
    // Clients rely on 200 here.
    status 200

GET /openapi.json
    generated openapi
    authentication none
    status 200

input AddMemo
    text: Text { max_length: 200 }

output MemoView
    text: Text { max_length: 200 }
```

```text
error: `api/main.jadpo_record` was edited by hand: a comment isn't part of a record
 --> api/main.jadpo_record:8:1
  |
8 |     // Clients rely on 200 here.
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not what Jadpo writes
  reason: Jadpo writes this record with `jadpo api update`, and a record is never edited by hand, so its diff always means what the source or a command changed.
  next: Run `jadpo api update`, which writes it again (agent)
  rule: record.edited
