Writing & Editing
The Notis editor is a full-featured writing environment designed for clinical and educational content. It combines rich text formatting with AI-powered writing tools that help draft, refine, and organize notes without leaving the workspace.
Editor Interface
The editor occupies the center panel of the Notis workspace. It supports standard formatting — headings, bold, italic, lists, blockquotes, code blocks — through multiple input methods.
Bubble Toolbar
Select any text to reveal the bubble toolbar above the selection. It provides quick access to:
- Text formatting — Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
- Headings — H1 through H4
- Lists — Bullet, numbered, and task lists
- Block types — Blockquote, code block
- Text alignment — Left, center, right
- AI transforms — Improve selected text with AI (see below)
Slash Commands
Type / anywhere in the editor to open the command menu. Available commands include:
- AI Continue — Generate a continuation of the current text
- Heading levels — Insert H1–H4 headings
- Lists — Bullet list, numbered list, task list
- Blockquote — Insert a quote block
- Code block — Insert a code block
- Horizontal rule — Insert a visual divider
Drag Handle
Hover over any block (paragraph, heading, list) to reveal a drag handle on the left side. Use it to:
- Reorder blocks by dragging
- Duplicate a block
- Delete a block
- Turn into a different block type
- Copy block content
Inline AI Completions
As you write, Notis can suggest continuations of your text in real-time.
Accepting Suggestions
- Press Tab to accept the suggested text
- Press Escape to dismiss it
- Continue typing to ignore and replace the suggestion
AI Text Transforms
Select text and use the AI options in the bubble toolbar to transform the selection:
- Fix spelling & grammar — Correct errors while preserving meaning
- Extend text — Expand the selection with additional detail
- Reduce text — Shorten while keeping key points
- Simplify text — Rewrite in plainer language
- Continue sentence — Complete an unfinished thought
- Summarize — Create a concise summary of the selection
Transforms stream the result directly into the editor, replacing the selected text. These operations are also free of credit cost.

Managing Notes
Creating Notes

Auto-Save
Changes save automatically after a brief pause in typing. A save indicator appears when content is being saved. There's no need to manually save — just keep writing.
Deleting Notes
Open the ... menu and select Delete to remove a note. This action also cleans up any associated AI chat history, research results, and fact-check data.
Exporting Notes
Finished notes can be exported as markdown:
Open the Actions Menu

Choose Export Option
Under Export Markdown, select either:

Opening AI Tools
Three icons in the editor toolbar provide quick access to the AI panel tabs:
- Search icon — Opens the Research tab
- Message icon — Opens the Chat tab
- Shield icon — Opens the Fact Check tab
Clicking any of these opens the AI tools panel on the right (or as a slide-over on mobile) with the corresponding tab selected.
