The guide to the essay editor, from Cite, Paper and File in the toolbar to markdown shortcuts and slash commands.
Get started
Essays and papers
References, AI use report and submission PDF
From Cite and the Paper menu in the editor toolbar, add references, record where AI helped, and hand in a PDF with a cover page and contents.
Importing files and PDF
Upload a Hangul or Word file, edit it right away, and save the result as a PDF.
For instructors
What the AI use statement and writing record a student hands in do and do not show.
Using the editor
Markdown shortcuts
They convert as you type. If it was not what you meant, one undo brings back the exact characters you typed.
Slash commands
Type / on an empty line to open the block menu, and keep typing to filter it.
AI tools
Rewrite what you selected, keep writing from the cursor, and put a skeleton into an empty document. When the draft is done, check it sentence by sentence. Included in the Plus plan.
Formatting and fonts
Formatting is reachable three ways: markdown shortcuts that keep your hands on the keys, slash commands on an empty line, and the toolbar and bubble menu described here.
Writing modes
The setting, the counts and the tools switch together to match the kind of writing in front of you. A mode belongs to the reader, not to the document.
Keyboard shortcuts
Read Cmd on Mac and Ctrl on Windows.
Paste
Wherever you copied from, it arrives as clean, editable blocks.
Smart typography
Punctuation gets typeset as you type. There is nothing to learn, and one undo brings back what you typed.
Mindmap view
The mindmap is another face of your document, there to help the writing. You do not create a separate document: you unfold the structure of the one you are writing, and turn mindmap files into documents.
Documents
Notes
Take notes on lectures and readings, then open the same document in the editor to add citations, references, length checks and a submission PDF. Headings, checklists, tables and Markdown downloads included.
Documents and subscription
Saving is automatic, templates get you started, and Plus removes the limit.
Offline mode
Open the editor and keep writing without an internet connection. Your work is saved to your account once you reconnect.
Proof of writing
The editor counts how characters entered a document and gives hand-typed pieces a badge and a public proof link. What you wrote is never recorded.
