Writing Documents

To write documents with ChatPRD:

• Ensure that Writing Mode is ON
• When writing a document, ask ChatPRD to "write a document" or "create a document"

When the writing tool is triggered, a document outline will display and a document will stream in the document panel.

Editing Documents

When editing a document, you have two options:

• Asking "edit this document" will make specific edits to your document and show a before/after change

• Asking to "rewrite this document" will overhaul your entire document and make major changes

Writing Mode

You can turn on or off writing mode in the chat. This will tell ChatPRD whether or not you want to focus on document generation, and if so, what settings you want to apply to your documents.

You can toggle on writing mode by opening the writing mode settings at the bottom of the chat window.

In writing mode settings you can:

• Turn on and off writing tools
• Select your writing model (Pro Plans only)
• Select your template

The templates available in writing tools are:

• Default ChatPRD templates
• Your custom templates
• Shared team templates (on Team plans)

The selected template will guide ChatPRD's responses and document structure. You can also use the "No Template" template if you don't have a set structure in mind.

Switching to Document Mode

To edit the document being created in your conversation:

• Click the Document Icon in the top right of the chat header
  • OR Click "Edit Document" from the document preview
• The interface will split into two panels:
  • Chat on the left
  • and Document editor on the right
• You can now directly edit the document while maintaining the chat context.
• Toggle back to chat-only mode by closing the document

Managing Multiple Documents

In a single chat thread, you can create and manage multiple documents:

• Use the document switcher in the chat header to navigate between documents.
• Ask the chat to create a new document with a new template
• Each document maintains its own content while sharing the chat context.
