Canvas for writing is now the Document Editor. Any Canvas documents you created before are still accessible in their original chats.

​
Getting started

The Document Editor opens as a panel alongside your chat, so you can write and iterate on documents without switching context. Use it when you want to draft a proposal, write a report, put together a project plan, or work on any longer piece you’ll refine and share. Documents are saved to your Library automatically, so they’re accessible across all your chats. You can open your document editor in three ways:
  • Type a prompt like “draft a proposal” or “create a report”. The editor opens automatically.
  • Click Create document in the input bar and choose your format: Document, Word, or PDF.
  • Open the Tools menu and select Create document.
Chat input bar with Create document active and the format selector showing Document, Word, and PDF options
Once you have sent your prompt, the editor panel opens on the right side of the screen.

​
Formatting

Edit your document directly in Langdock. Click anywhere to start typing, deleting, or rearranging content. To add structure to your document, type: / anywhere to open the formatting menu. It’s organized into three groups: headings and text styles under Format, Lists, and insertable elements under Insert including tables, code blocks, and an auto-generated table of contents.

  • Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4
  • Bullet List and Numbered List
  • Blockquote and Code Block
  • Tables
  • Table of contents
  • Divider
The toolbar at the top of the editor shows the same options and is always visible. Use the expand icon in the top bar to switch to full-screen view when you want to focus on writing without the chat alongside.

​
Editing with AI

The Document Editor lets you collaborate with the AI in two distinct ways: You can make edits on specific text, or broader changes across the whole document. Select any text you would like to edit, and click the Edit with AI button that appears. This quotes your selection into the chat where you can type your instructions. The AI applies the change directly in the document.

For broader changes such as rewriting a section, adjusting the tone, or expanding content, type your instructions in the chat without selecting anything first. The AI edits the document and saves a new version automatically.

​
Version history

Version history gives you a full record of every change made to your document, whether by you or the AI. Every edit is saved automatically, so nothing is ever lost. Click Version history in the top bar to open the version panel. Each version is timestamped and attributed to either you or the AI. Select any version to see exactly what changed. Click Restore version to make it the current document.

When you ask the AI for changes, it always builds on your most recent edits rather than an older version. This ensures your manual edits are never lost.

​
Export

When you’re ready to use your document outside Langdock, export it directly from the editor. Click the download icon in the top bar and choose your format:
  • Download Markdown
  • Download Word
  • Download PDF
Download menu open in the Document Editor top bar showing Download Markdown, Download Word, and Download PDF options

​
Save to external storage

If your team works in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Google Drive, you can send your finished document there directly from the editor without downloading and re-uploading it. Click the external storage button in the top bar. All three options are always visible. Click Connect next to any integration that isn’t set up yet:
  • Open in SharePoint
  • Open in OneDrive
  • Open in Google Drive
External storage dropdown showing Open in SharePoint, Open in OneDrive, and Open in Google Drive with Connect options

​
Library

Your Library is the central home for all documents you create in Langdock. Every document is saved there automatically, so you can always find and continue working on them across different chats.

You can generate documents in the Document Editor and export them as PDF or Word files. It is not possible to edit Word or PDF files directly in the Document Editor.

​
What happened to Canvas?

Canvas for writing is now the Document Editor. Any documents you created in Canvas are still accessible in the original chats where they were created. The Document Editor is designed for more professional working with documents, with richer formatting, full version history, and the ability to save directly to Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint. It will be the foundation for new features coming to Langdock over time. Prompts that include the word “Canvas” still open the Document Editor, so your team can continue using that language without any disruption.
