Writing Documents

ChatPRD writes documents in your chosen template, streams them into an editor beside the chat, and keeps every version so you can always go back.

Write a document

1. Make sure Writing is ON in the composer.
2. Ask ChatPRD to "write a document" or "create a document", for example "Write a PRD for the onboarding checklist".

ChatPRD shows which template it chose and why, then the document outline appears and the document streams into the editor. See Creating & Using Templates for how templates are picked.

Writing settings

Click Writing in the composer to open Document writing:

• Document writing switch: turns document writing on or off for this chat.
• Length: Short, Medium or Long.
• Template: Auto (ask me each time), ChatPRD: PRD and the other ChatPRD templates, your Custom templates (including ones shared with your team), or None.

Length and Template are available while writing is on. To choose which AI model writes, use the model menu in the composer. See Using the chat.

Edit a document

You can edit the document directly in the editor, or ask ChatPRD:

• "Edit this document" makes specific edits and shows a before and after view of each change.
• "Rewrite this document" overhauls the whole document.

Switch between documents and prototypes

One chat can produce several documents (and prototypes). Each one keeps its own content while sharing the chat's context. To create another, ask for a new document, or name a different template.

Click the switcher in the chat header (it shows how many items there are) and search with Find a document or prototype…. Items are grouped under Documents and Prototypes.

Each item opens in its own tab beside the chat. Closing a tab never deletes anything, and your open tabs are remembered for each chat. Click Hide workspace (keep tabs open) to go back to just the chat.

Version history

ChatPRD saves a new version whenever:

• ChatPRD creates a document
• ChatPRD edits or rewrites a document
• You save a version yourself

Preview an earlier version

1. Open the version menu in the document toolbar. Each version shows its number, how it was made (Created, Edited, Rewritten or Saved) and when.
2. Pick a version. It opens as a read-only preview marked Viewing version N: "Read-only preview. Your current document has not changed."
3. Click Back to current to return to the latest version.

Restore a version

While previewing, click Restore as new version. The old content is added as a new version on top, so nothing is lost. You can restore only when no one else has the document open; if a collaborator is editing it, try again once they leave.

Version history is available on every ChatPRD plan.

Share and export

When the document is ready, share it with your team or export it to Google Docs, SharePoint, Notion, Confluence, Markdown or Word. See Exporting documents.
