Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add citations while writing?

Place your cursor where you want the citation, press Ctrl+Shift+C (or click the citation button), search for your reference, and select it. The citation will be formatted automatically according to your chosen style.

Can multiple people edit the same document?

Yes! Share your document with team members and everyone can edit simultaneously. You'll see each person's cursor and changes appear in real-time. Comments and suggestions are also synced.

How do I change the citation style?

Go to Document Settings (gear icon) and select your preferred citation style from the dropdown. All citations in your document will be reformatted automatically.

Can I import existing documents?

Yes, you can import .docx, .txt, .md, and .tex files. Drag and drop or use File > Import. Most formatting will be preserved, though some complex layouts may need adjustment.

How is my work saved?

Everything is saved automatically as you type. You'll see 'Saved' in the toolbar. Your work is also saved locally, so you can continue writing even if you lose internet connection.

What's the difference between comments and suggestions?

Comments are notes attached to specific text—use them for feedback. Suggestions are proposed edits that can be accepted or rejected. Both are great for collaborative writing and review.
