Crafticle workspace

1. Open an article

From the dashboard, open or create an article. Each article has its own sources, insights, curate outline (section structure for selected insights), draft, and craft versions in Craft history—the workspace is scoped to that piece.

2. The three tabs (Sources → Curate → Drafts Editor)

The article workspace is organized as step 1 · Sources, step 2 · Curate, and step 3 · Drafts Editor. You can switch tabs anytime, but the intended flow is: collect inputs, choose and organize insights, then generate and edit drafts. The tab labels also show live counts so you can quickly see how many sources, selected insights, and saved draft versions belong to the current article.

• Sources — Add research inputs, inspect normalized content, and select the insights you want to carry forward.
• Curate — Organize selected insights into sections, reorder sections, move insights around, and shape the structure of the article before generation.
• Drafts Editor — Run Craft Article, edit drafts in the editor, and revisit earlier craft runs from Craft history.

3. Sources — add inputs & pick insights

The Sources tab is where you add material and inspect what Crafticle extracted from each source before you decide what belongs in the article.

• Add a source — Use URLs, pasted text (notes), or upload supported files (PDF, DOCX, TXT). Supported flows and limits depend on your plan.
• Processing — New or updated sources may show progress while content is fetched and analyzed. When processing finishes, insights appear for that source.
• Insights — Short idea-level takeaways tied to a source. Select the ones you want to carry into Curate; where supported, you can inspect them against normalized content and linked evidence.
• Switch sources — Pick a source in the list to focus its insights and context without leaving the article.

4. Curate — sections, ordering & adding insights

The Curate tab is where your selected insights become an outline. Insights are grouped into sections so you can shape the flow of the article before you generate anything. Think of this tab as the place where you decide what story or argument the draft should follow.

• Sections — Build the article outline with section titles. You can add new sections, rename them, reorder sections, and remove empty sections where the current outline allows it.
• Order insights — Move insights within a section or across sections so the flow matches your intent.
• Split & restructure — Where supported, split between insights to create a new section boundary and reshape the outline without rebuilding it from scratch.
• Add more insights in place — Use a section’s add control to pull in other workspace insights you have not yet selected, grouped by source, without leaving Curate.

If nothing is selected yet, Curate will prompt you to go back to Sources first. Once insights are selected, this tab becomes the main place for shaping structure.

5. Drafts Editor — editor, craft options & runs

The Drafts Editor tab is where you generate, inspect, and edit article drafts. It also gives you the full craft toolbar and access to the version you are currently reviewing.

• Editor — Write and edit the article body directly.
• Selected insights — Your curated set (from Sources and Curate) is what Craft Article uses when you run generation.
• Toolbar & presets — Pick a preset or adjust the craft settings yourself: depth, audience, tone, structure, length, evidence, fusion, opening, conclusion, lists, and more. These settings shape how Craft Article writes the draft from your curated insights.
• Insights used — When you focus a craft version in history, you can see which insights were stored for that run (where available).

6. Craft Article

Craft Article generates a draft from your current craft settings and the insights you organized in Curate. While a run is in progress, the control shows a busy state (for example “Crafting…”).

• For best results, make sure your selected insights and Curate sections reflect the angle you want the draft to take.
• When a run completes, your editor updates with the new draft and a new entry appears in Craft history (see below).
• Review and edit in the editor—generated text is a starting point, not a final publish.

7. Craft history & versions

Craft history lists past craft runs for the current article. Each row is a version: a saved draft snapshot together with the settings and selected insights that produced it.

• Open a version — Select an entry to load that draft into the editor context (and to inspect what powered that run).
• Restore — You can restore a past version as your working draft when you want to go back to an earlier pass.
• Notes & ratings — Add a private note or a quick star rating on a version to remember what worked. Only you can see your notes.

8. Generation & what to avoid pasting

Generated copy is assistive; you remain responsible for accuracy, attribution, and compliance when you publish.

9. Account & plan

When you are signed in, the header shows Dashboard (except on the dashboard itself), your plan, the account menu, and billing options where applicable. Source limits and compose features follow your subscription—see Pricing.
