Drafts
Drafts are documents you create and edit alongside your conversations. Think of them as a shared workspace between you and the AI: the AI can write content into a draft, and you can edit it directly with a rich text editor. Everything stays in one place, right next to your conversation.
Opening the drafts panel
Click the Tools button in the conversation header and switch to the Drafts tab. It lists the drafts that belong to the current conversation; click one to open it in a companion pane beside the chat.
Creating a draft
Ask the AI to create a draft for you. For example:
“Create a draft with an outline for my project proposal”
The AI will create the draft and populate it with content. You’ll see it appear in the drafts panel, and it usually opens beside the conversation automatically.
AI writing to drafts
The AI can read from and write to your drafts as part of a conversation. You might ask it to:
- Write a first draft of a document based on your notes
- Edit or rewrite a section
- Add a conclusion to something you’ve already started
- Summarize a long draft into bullet points
When the AI writes to a draft, the changes appear in the editor. You can keep chatting to refine the content, and the AI will update the draft as you go.
Editing drafts yourself
Click anywhere in the draft to start editing. Selecting text brings up a small formatting menu, and your changes are saved automatically as you type (the save state is shown at the bottom of the pane). Selecting text also offers Ask and Refine actions that hand the selection to the composer, so you can ask the AI about exactly that passage.
You can edit a draft and then return to the conversation to ask the AI to continue from where you left off. The AI always sees the current state of the draft.
Version history
Every change to a draft is recorded as a version automatically, whether it came from you or the AI.
To browse version history, click History in the draft header. You’ll see a list of versions with timestamps and what happened (created, edited, renamed, restored). Click View to preview a version read-only. To go back, click Restore; your current content stays in the history, so you won’t lose anything.
Exporting a draft
When your draft is ready, you can export it in several formats:
- PDF: A formatted PDF document, suitable for sharing or printing.
- Word (.docx): A Microsoft Word file you can open and edit in any word processor.
- LaTeX: A .tex source file for use in LaTeX editors or academic publishing workflows.
- Markdown: Plain text with Markdown formatting, useful for developers or publishing to platforms that accept Markdown.
To export, click Export in the draft header and choose your format. The exported file appears in the conversation, where you can download it.
