Quick Edit

Quick Edit is the fastest way to make light edits to your document, and it’s one of the only tools that works right inside your document (rather than creating a card in the History section).

Find Quick Edit in the Selection Menu, or open it with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + K (PC) or ⌘ + K (Mac).

Quick Edit is included with your Sudowrite plan, and free to use by default. You do have the option of toggling on a High Quality mode that will use credits. While High Quality mode is capable of more complex tasks, we’ve found it’s also rarely necessary.

When you already know that something needs to change, and you just need a little help doing it, Quick Edit takes your instructions and makes those changes for you. Just highlight a sentence, paragraph, or entire scene—up to 1,000 words—and tell Quick Edit what you’d like changed or rewritten.

Quick Edit takes your instruction and goes to work, leaving a struck-through version of your original copy in place for comparison. Accept the changes, reject them, or further refine it—all inline.

Both Quick Edit and Quick Chat are available now—find them in the hover menu that opens when you highlight something in your document, or just press Ctrl/Command+K.

One of the biggest benefits of Quick Edit is that it is story aware. That means it can see your existing work in order to stay on track.

Quick Edit will focus on the highlighted text you’d like transformed, but it will also take into account your Genre, Style, Synopsis, Worldbuilding elements, and other context-dependent things like matching Characters or a Chapter Outline.
