# Live Documents

> A live document is a rich-text document inside Rheos, with auto-save, an AI assistant that edits on request, and comments you can apply in a batch.

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](/help/library/overview), select **+** and pick **New Live Document**. Rheos creates the
document as **Untitled Document** and opens it straight away at
`dashboard.rheos.app/docs/...`.

<Warning>
  **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.
</Warning>

## 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**.

## Comments

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
