How does the Writing Editor work?
The Writing Editor is designed to help you improve your writing without ever losing your original work. The screen is divided into three main areas, each with a specific role:
- The Information Panel on the left shows details about your piece — such as its title, category, tags, and where it belongs. This helps you stay organized, but it does not change your writing.
- The Stable Versionin the center is your approved version. Think of this as your “safe” copy. It does not change unless you explicitly update it.
- The Editor on the right is where you do all your work. This is where you write, refine, and apply AI-powered changes.
When you first open a piece, you are not editing yet. You'll see your Stable Version in the center, and the Editor will be inactive. To begin, click Open Editor. This switches you into Editing, where you can start making changes.
Inside the Editor, you can type directly or use Writing Controls (such as tone, voice, or rewrite strength) to guide how the AI improves your text. You can apply changes to a selected portion of text or to the full draft. As you work, your edits are saved automatically in the Editor — but they do not affect your Stable Version yet.
This separation is important:
- The Editor is your working space (temporary, flexible)
- The Stable Version is your official version (locked, reliable)
When you're happy with your changes, click Promote to Stable Version. This replaces the previous Stable Version with your edited draft.
You can also switch between Split View and Focus View:
- Split View shows both panels side-by-side
- Focus View expands the Editor
Workflow:
- Review Stable Version
- Open Editor
- Refine using Writing Controls
- Promote changes
