Keep the words you are not sure about.
Revise in place. Decide later.
Your versions and AI versions
A side panel lists the versions. Write your own, or ask AI for more that fit the text around them. Yours and the AI's are marked differently.
A or an, handled
Pick a word that starts with a vowel and “a” turns into “an”. The article follows the word you choose.
Ghost
Dim a passage to about a tenth of its strength instead of deleting it. It stays readable and out of the word count. Revive it any time.
Overflow
A side panel for writing you are not ready to use or lose. Stash a selection in one keystroke, and bring it back with ⌃↵ or by dragging it into the page.
The Lab
AI passes that mark your draft and never rewrite it: the weakest sentences, long or convoluted ones, words off the tone, hedges and filler. Punctuation and typo fixes apply one at a time.
Keyboard shortcuts
The main actions have Control shortcuts, so you can try a version, ghost a line, or stash a paragraph without leaving the keys.

See what to cut before you cut it.
The Lab trims a draft by fading the words that could go. Nothing is removed until you say so.
- Pick a trim level: about 10%, 20%, 30%, or half.
- Words that could go fade in place. Click any faded word to keep it.
- Walk through the cuts one by one, or make them all at once.
Write it one way, then another. Writer keeps both in place until you choose.
