- Captions drop-down menu: Allows you to select from multiple caption files that may be associated with your media entry.
- Search field: Allows you to search for specific text within your captions and replace it with other text. Don't search for a specific term without entering something in the replace field or it will delete the term assuming you want to replace the term you are searching for with a blank space!
- Replace With field: Allows you to search for a specific term (from #2) and then replace it with another term you enter here.
- Replace button: Replaces all instances of the term you search (#2) for with the term you enter in the replace field (#3). There is no option to approve or deny specific replacements - they all happen automatically.
- Add speaker to selected items: Allows you to select a caption (the radio box indicated by #7), enter a speaker's name in this field and then click #6 Add to add a speaker indicator to the selected caption.
- Add button: Completes the action of adding a speaker you entered in #5 to the selected captions.

- Revert link: Reverts to the last saved changes.
- Save button: Save the modified caption file. Use the save button with some regularity to avoid losing your edits.

The suffix of "(auto-generated)" is appended to the label of all machine-generated captions. This informs viewers and media owners that the captions were automatically generated by Kaltura's machine captioning process, and have not been edited.
Once an auto-generated caption file has been edited for accuracy, we remove "(auto-generated)" from the label.
For instruction on editing caption labels, refer to the document in the See Also section (below).
