Under My Account, click the Edit button next to the hub where you want to add a summary. On the right side of the page, click the Summary tab. There will be a space for you to write your summary.
In edit mode, on the right look under "add more capsules". There are a few hyperlinked phrases, like "reorder", "tags", etc.. The fourth one is "summary", just click on it and scroll down a tad. You'll see the empty space where you can add the summary. Add it, then click "done editing".
Hope that helps!
I believe that random, has answered your question correctly. In addition under your accounts tab, if you see an (A), at the end of one of your unpublished article titles or a previously published article title, than you can go back into the hub and click edit and than go beneath the capsule tags and do the same as random had also suggested and add a three or four sentence summary.

exactly as randomcreative says... added a little screenshot for you.
Hi thanks everyone
I have tried all that, and the thing is, no summary shows up after I edit. what could I be doing wrong or missing?
click edit and go to the side bar and click sumary tab and insert your summary.
You won't see the actual summary that your wrote after you have finished editing the hub. But if you share it on say Facebook you can then see the summary of that hub.

I posted a hub. Do I just edit that one weekly? Or is it like it's very own post and website? Do I make new hubs? How many hubs can I have? This is all so neat! I feel so excited but I am really feeling lost about it all too.

How can I write and edit a summary of a hub?I have not been able to edit or write a summary of a hub since the day the HubTool was updated. How do you do that now?

I'm about to post my first Hub article! However, I was just wondering - if I publish it, and later on, I think of something better that I can add in or change, can I change it? Or does it become written in stone?Thank you!

Hi, I had a problem this morning trying to create a hub where it would appear to hang for a while before telling me the url was taken. It did this twice before finally allowing me to create one on my third attempt. However now that I look at my hubs it has created all three. How...
