Edit with Ask AI
Improve, simplify, shorten, lengthen, continue, fix grammar, translate, and develop — in place on selection or the whole page.
Edit verbs rewrite existing prose. Prefer a selection (sparkle or ⠿) when you only want that passage changed. Use slash AI → Edit when you want the same verb across the page.
How to run an Edit
- Open a Document. Select the passage, or place the cursor in the block you want to change.
- Open Ask AI from ⠿, the selection sparkle, Floating AI, or
/→ AI → Edit. - Choose the verb. Wait for the proposal on the canvas.
- Accept to keep the rewrite, or Reject to restore the prior text.
