We've designed Grantable's writing space to have a clean feel, with familiar features, and special superpowers to make grant writing as easy as possible. Here's the rundown:


Navigation

Beginning at the top of this view, in the upper left corner of the screen you'll find your navigation features.

Home

Clicking the Home button will bring you back to your home screen where you can find the other areas of your account.

File name

Clicking on the file name allows you to edit what you call the file.

Menu

In the upper right corner of the editor view you'll find a menu icon.

Show file history

Clicking on Show file history will open a change log for the document and allow you to restore to earlier versions.

Note: There is no save function, instead your work is automatically saved as you make changes to the document.

Export to .docx

Clicking on Export to .docx will allow you to download the current version of the file in a .docx format and import to another word processor.

Delete

Clicking Delete will prompt you to confirm your choice to delete the current file. This cannot be undone.

Table of contents

The left side of the editor has a dynamic table of contents that corresponds with the headers and tasks in your document.

Use the toolbar (see below) to create headers and tasks, which will automatically appear in the table of contents based on their location in the document.

Tip: You can click on items in the table of contents to easily navigate long documents.

Toolbar

Your toolbar runs across the top of the page and is a convenient way to access many of the key features in the editor.

Undo and redo

The undo and redo buttons, curved arrows pointing left and right, at the far left side of the toolbar allow you to step back or forward through your recent edits.

Style dropdown

The style dropdown allows you to turn any text on the page into any of three header options or normal paragraph text.

Highlight text you wish to style, click the Style dropdown in the toolbar, and select a header or paragraph style to change the selected text.

Headers will appear in the table of contents and are clickable to allow you to easily scroll to that section of the document.

Bold, italicize, underline

You may use the bold, italicize, and underline options to change the appearance of regular text.

Highlight the text you wish to change and click any of these options.

Bulleted and numbered lists

You can create bullet point and numbered lists by clicking either of these options. The first item in the list will appear wherever your cursor is located on the page.

AI sparkle icon

Click on the AI sparkle icon to access your AI assistant. The prompt bar will appear at the location of the cursor, or where you have highlighted text.

Task check icon

You may turn any selection of text on the page into a task item. Highlight text you wish to notate as a task and click the checkbox icon in the toolbar.

Unfinished tasks will appear with a red underline and in the table of contents. Check off tasks in the table of contents to make them as finished, which will change the underline to green.

Numbers icon

Access the numbers or values stored in the Numbers section of your account by clicking the hashtag icon in the toolbar. Clicking on a stored Number or value will insert it at the location of your cursor on the page.

Next up assistant (beta)

At the far right side of toolbar is the Next up assistant, which is currently in a beta test release. Clicking this button will cause your assistant to locate and highlight the first action item beginning from the current location of the cursor on your page.

Writing area

The largest section of the editor is the page. This is where you should type, use your AI assistant to draft content, and copy and paste text as needed.

Content palette drawer

At the bottom of the editor is the drawer for content palettes, which are selections of source material used by the AI assistant to draft content.

Create different palettes to easily switch between collections of source material with different focuses or purposes.
