The Draft: writing
The Draft is where the words go. Every paragraph is a block. The page is real: what you see is what exports.
The page
An empty draft says “Write, type ‘/’ for commands”. The name of the draft sits at the top left of the pane. At the top right, the block-type indicator shows what you are standing in (Paragraph, Heading 1, Action). The bottom bar counts the work: page (“Page 1 of 4”), headings (scenes in a screenplay), words, and the zoom controls, with the cloud icon at the far right.
Blocks and the slash menu
On any blank line, type / and the block menu opens with a filter field. It offers a Suggested row (contextual) and the full set:
| Group | Blocks |
|---|---|
| Basic Blocks | Text, Chapter, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Bullet List, Numbered List, To-do list, Blockquote, Code Block, Callout, Table, Separator |
| Media | Image |
Or skip the menu: the block-type dropdown at the top right (tooltip: “Change block type · Cmd+1…9”) switches the current block, and each type has a shortcut: Cmd+1 Chapter, Cmd+2 Heading 1, Cmd+3 Heading 2, Cmd+4 Heading 3, Cmd+5 Bullet List, Cmd+6 Ordered List, Cmd+7 Task List, Cmd+8 Blockquote, Cmd+9 Paragraph.
The block handle
Hover any block and a :: handle appears on its left. Drag it to reorder. Click it for the block menu: Turn Into, Text color, Align text, Duplicate, Copy anchor link (a deep link straight to that block), Move block up, Move block down, and Delete.
Select text: the floating toolbar
Select any text and a floating toolbar appears: font, block type, text color, alignment, capitalization, list, indent and spacing controls, then bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and link, plus weight and size.
If you write with Companion, the same toolbar carries its quick actions: Custom (your own instruction), Improve writing, Fix Grammar, Fact check, Shorten, Lengthen, Explain, and Summary. Each runs on the selection and returns suggestions you accept or reject, never silent edits. Selecting text also places it above the Companion chat input, ready to be asked about. (A Saved list for your own reusable prompts is coming; the button is already there.)
