In the key for Figure 1, the legend for the upper right element in the key should read R³⁺, where R = Sc, Y, In or Dy – Lu.

The caption for Figure 1b should read: geometrically driven ferroelectricity in hexagonal (h-) RMnO₃ emerges from a tilt and deformation of MnO₅ bipyramids, which displace the R ions as indicated by the arrows.

The material mentioned in the caption for Figure 1d should read (o-) TbMnO₃.

In the caption for Figure 2, the reference for the transition from a spiral order to a collinear antiferromagnetic order in orthorhombic TbMnO₃ under pressure should be reference 42.

On page 6, Figure 3a should be called out in the second paragraph, after “establishing a rigid coupling between the antiferromagnetic order parameter of the multiferroic constituent”.

On page 8, in the second paragraph of the “Non-equilibrium dynamics” section the composition for the material should read LuFe₂O₄.

On page 9, right column, the symmetry group for h-RMnO₃ should read P6₃cʹmʹ.

On page 10, in the section “Electromagnons” the second figure callout should be to Figure 1d.

In the caption for Figure 6, the sentence before last should read: the excitations in parts b–d represent electromagnons.

In the section “Nonreciprocal directional dichroism” the reference for unidirectional propagation in CuB₂O₄ in magnetic fields should be Ref. 141, whereas the reference for nonreciprocal directional dichroism in gratings should be Ref. 135.
