Work with the manuscript editor

Narration: Stu McCardle

The manuscript editor works beside the chapter, with the surrounding prose in view. Open Editor and ask a specific question: where does this opening feel slow? Use the response as a second opinion on the passage. Select a sentence to focus the conversation. The selection appears above the chat, showing exactly what you are discussing. To explore different wording, choose Rewrite this. Add an instruction, generate a proposal and compare it with the original. Here I'm tightening a long sentence while keeping its physical details. Choose Keep if that version serves the scene, or close it and continue exploring. The version menu brings earlier drafts back into view. A conversation, a comparison or a focused revision: bring in the support that helps, and decide what belongs in the book.

Steps
1. Open Editor beside the manuscript and ask a precise question.
2. Ask a focused question about pacing, clarity or continuity. Use the response to consider the passage.
3. Select a passage. The selection chip above the chat shows what you are referring to.
4. For replacement wording, choose Rewrite this, add your instruction and generate a proposal.
5. Compare the proposal with your selected text. Choose Keep to use it, or close it to retain your own wording.
6. Use the version picker to revisit earlier drafts.

Before you start
Open a full chapter. The editor works alongside the prose, with the current chapter in context.

The demonstration uses a complete chapter, with two full versions. Keeping the proposal changes only the selected sentence.
