​
Creating Documents

To create a new document:
  1. Navigate to your project from the home page or via the document explorer in the left panel
  2. Click the “New Document” button beneath the name of your folder.
  3. Start typing - your document will be named “Untitled Document” until you change it

​
Editing Document Titles

You have three options on how to edit the title of a document:
  1. Click on the document title at the top of the page to edit it. The title automatically saves when you click away or press Enter.
  2. Navigate to your project in left panel. Click the three dots next to the “Untitled Document” you want to change the name of. Select “Rename Document”. Begin typing. Press Enter or click away to save
  3. Ask the AI assistant in the panel on the right to change the name of your document to whatever you like! It will update and save instantly.

​
Auto-Save and Versions

Inkstone automatically saves your work as you type. You’ll see a timestamp showing when your document was last saved (e.g., “Edited 2 minutes ago”). There’s no save button - your work is always safe.

​
Versions

Since Inkstone saves your work as you type, you can preview and restore previous versions of your document at any time. Simply select the timestamp showing when your document was last saved (e.g., “Edited 2 minutes ago”). The History tab will populate. Here, you can click a previous version of your document. Choose to either preview or restore that version. Changes between that version and the current version are highlighted in red and green.
