Write and edit the manuscript

Edit directly on the page, move between chapters, and ask the assistant for changes without losing your place.

Manuscript workspace with chapter contents on the left, formatted chapters in the centre, and writing controls above.
Contents, the editable manuscript, and side tools stay together in the writing workspace.

Read the writing workspace

Contents are on the left, the formatted manuscript is in the middle, and Assistant, Look, Polish, or Preview can open on the right. Resize the pane on a wide screen; on a smaller screen it opens as a sheet.

The top bar reports save state and word count. Choose All chapters to read through the book, or open one chapter from Contents or a chapter link.

Edit the words

Click the title or body and type; Chapbook saves the chapter as you work. The editor supports headings and paragraphs, bold, italic, lists, links, images, and the slash menu. More contains tables, a divider, and additional views. The book’s Look—not manual formatting—owns fonts and sizes.

Work with chapters

Select, add, remove, or reorder chapters from Contents. H2 and H3 headings appear beneath a chapter so you can jump within it; folding Contents to ticks leaves a compact progress rail. One-chapter view is useful when the full manuscript feels too long.

Ask for a passage change

Select text for Shorter, Expand, Rewrite, or a specific instruction. The answer arrives as suggestions rather than silently replacing your words.

Use Assistant, Look, Polish, and Preview

Open only the side tool you need; your conversation and selection survive moving around the book. Polish is a whole-book read-through that points to exact places. Preview renders a PDF; if the manuscript changes afterwards it shows Changed since this preview until you render again.

Focus and finish

Focus mode leaves only the page. Finish opens Launch elsewhere when you are ready for checks and files.

Next: review suggestions or choose the look.
