Papers
Papers is the editor for a draft. It suggests text grounded in your library, keeps each AI change as a suggestion, and saves versions you can restore.

Grounded autocomplete
Pause in the editor. If library documents have extracted text, a suggestion may include a citation to a matching passage.
If the library has no usable text, the model may still draft. Those completions are not citations.
Tab and Esc
Press Tab to accept the ghost suggestion. Press Esc to dismiss it. The footer restates this: pause to autocomplete, Tab accept, Esc dismiss.
Tracked changes
Rewrite, polish, and many review suggestions appear as highlighted tracked changes. Click the highlight, then Accept or Reject. The manuscript is not overwritten in place.
Rewrite, expand, and polish
- Step 1: Select text, or place the cursor in a paragraph.
- Step 2: With a passage selected, a rewrite bubble appears at the cursor with Concise, Academic, Simpler, Formal, Expand, and Trim 30%.
- Step 3: Open Drafting, then click Polish grammar & clarity to polish a longer stretch.
Polish that would rewrite around citations asks you to select a section and use Rewrite instead. Papers over the polish character cap must be polished per section.
Abstract and titles
Open Drafting. Click Generate abstract, or Suggest titles….
Generate abstract requires existing draft text. Suggested titles apply only when you choose one.
Conference abstract word limits
Open Drafting. Click Conference abstract (150w) or Conference abstract (250w). The draft is generated against that word cap. You still edit the result before you submit it to a venue.
Equations
Click Σ (Insert equation) to insert a math block. Edit the LaTeX source. The editor shows a KaTeX preview. Exporters write the same source into LaTeX, Word, Markdown, or plain text as the format allows.
Footnotes
Click † (Insert footnote). Enter the note text on the footnote node. Export includes footnotes in the chosen format.
Figures
Click Figure in the editor toolbar, enter an HTTPS image URL or data-image URL, add an optional caption, then click Save. Click an existing figure to edit it. The IEEE submission source ZIP includes figure files when they can be resolved.
Per-section word counts
The editor footer lists soft Abstract progress against ≈250 words (IEEE) and a Body total from the other sections. Those figures show optional progress only. You can dismiss them at any time, and they never block writing. After you dismiss them, the footer shows the word count under each heading (References omitted).
Paper brief
- Step 1: Click Brief.
- Step 2: Write one paragraph that should steer autocomplete.
- Step 3: Click Save brief.
The brief is injected into ghost-completion context. It does not change the manuscript until you accept a suggestion.
Other write actions
Drafting also offers Draft Related Work, Summarize paper, Generate outline, and Translate…. Draft Related Work uses library papers and arrives as a tracked change. Each result is a suggestion until you accept it.
Import a Word document
- Step 1: In the sidebar, open the arrow next to New paper and choose Import Word document.
- Step 2: Click Choose .docx and pick a file up to 4 MB, then click Review import.
- Step 3: Check the preview: the title, word, heading and table counts, an excerpt, and Conversion notes listing what could not come across. Download report saves those notes.
- Step 4: Click Import as new paper.
Footnotes, endnotes, equations, comments, figures and hidden text are not imported; tracked changes and merged table cells are flattened, and citation fields arrive as plain text. The original file is not stored. Import Google Doc, in the same menu, runs the same review on a Google Doc.
Version history
- Step 1: Click History in the editor header to open Version history.
- Step 2: Optionally name the version, then click Save current version.
- Step 3: To go back, click Inspect to preview a version, then Restore and Restore version. Your current paper is saved first as a Before restore copy, so a restore never loses work.
Each paper keeps up to 20 saved versions for 30 days. An identical version is not saved twice, and when history is full, a slot frees up as the oldest version expires.
