1. Open the Documents area
From the sidebar, go to Documents
Click + New document in the top right corner

💡 You can also create new documents directly from a grant project. They’ll appear automatically in the Documents Library.
2. Choose how to start
You’ll begin on a blank document page with several template buttons in the empty stage.

Click a template button such as Letter of Intent, Letter of Support, or Logic Model to start from a built-in format.
Each template opens a modal requesting short setup details (for example, recipient name, program, purpose, or partner organization).
After you fill out the form and click Create document, Grantable automatically renders the formatted draft directly on the page.
If you prefer, simply start typing on the blank page to create a completely custom document.

💡 Templates save time by providing standard structure and automatically inserting the details you provide.
3. Name and save your document
Enter a clear, descriptive name (e.g., Community Impact Narrative 2025)

Your document saves automatically as you work and appears in both the Documents Library and any linked Grant project
💡 Use consistent naming conventions to keep your workspace organized.
4. Add context and start writing
Once inside the editor:
Attach source materials using the @ icon or paperclip

Use chat prompts to generate or refine text with AI assistance
Your document continues to autosave after every edit
💡 The more context you add, the more accurate and tailored your AI-generated drafts will be.
✅ Key takeaway: When you create a new document, you’ll start on a blank page with optional templates. Select a template to open a quick setup modal and generate a structured draft—or begin typing freely to build your own from scratch.
