A live document is a full-page rich-text document that lives in your Rheos workspace.
It has its own AI assistant and its own comment thread, which makes it a good home for
longer writing that isn’t a post yet — briefs, outlines, scripts, notes.
Create one
In the Library, select + and pick New Live Document. Rheos creates the
document as Untitled Document and opens it straight away at
dashboard.rheos.app/docs/....
Save the link before you leave. Live documents aren’t listed anywhere in Rheos yet —
they don’t appear in the Library grid, in Library search, or in the sidebar. The URL is
the only way back in, so bookmark it as soon as the document opens. If you navigate away
without it, the document still exists and its content is safe, but nothing inside Rheos
will lead you back to it — only your browser history or a saved link will.
Write
Select the title at the top of the document and type to rename it, then write in the body
below.
- The formatting toolbar sits in the middle of the header: bold, italic, strikethrough,
two heading levels, bullet and numbered lists, a quote block, a divider, and undo and
redo.
- Type
/ anywhere in the body for a block menu. Ask Rheos AI is the first item — it
asks Rheos to carry on writing from what’s already in the document. Below it: Text,
Heading 1, Heading 2, Bullet List and Numbered List.
- Two panel buttons in the top right hide and show the side panels. The right-hand one is
the panel that does the work — it holds comments and chat. Worth collapsing on a small
screen.
Library in the top-left takes you back.
Auto-save
Auto-save is on by default — the toggle is in the header. With it on, Rheos saves a
couple of seconds after you stop typing and confirms with a Saved message.
Turn Auto-save off if you’d rather save deliberately. Save Changes in the header
saves on demand either way, and with auto-save off, selecting Library with unsaved work
raises an Unsaved Changes prompt offering Discard or Save & Exit.
Select any text in the body. A Comment button appears above the selection — select it,
write your note in the Add Comment box, then select Add Comment. Rheos records the
text you highlighted and the section it came from.
Comments stack in the right-hand panel under Comments, with a count of the open ones.
Each has Resolve, and you can Unresolve it later. Delete appears on comments
you wrote.
The document chat
The right-hand panel has a second mode. Open the settings icon at the top of the panel,
then pick Chat Mode under Sidebar Mode — Comments Mode switches back.
Ask for an edit in plain language, for example “tighten the second section” or “add a
short intro”.
The input area at the foot of the panel stacks three things, top to bottom:
- A button that sends every unresolved comment at once, labelled with the count — so
Apply 3 comments when three are open. It only appears when there are unresolved
comments.
- The Brand context switch, directly above the text box. It controls whether Rheos
brings your brand identity into the edit, and it’s on by default.
- The text box itself, with the send button beside it. Enter sends; Shift-Enter starts a
new line.
Reviewing the changes
Nothing is written into the document automatically. Every edit comes back as
Review Changes, a grouped diff that takes over the panel until you finish with it:
- Accept or reject each group with the tick and cross.
- All accepts every group at once; None rejects every group at once.
- Apply Changes stays greyed out until every group has been decided — the counter
beside it (2/5 decided) tells you how many are left. Accepting a couple and leaving
the rest untouched won’t unlock it; use All or None if you want to move fast.
- Apply Changes then writes your accepted groups into the document. Cancel
discards the whole edit and puts the document back as it was.
Comments that matched an accepted change are resolved for you.
