Understanding Drafts in elvex
This article will answer questions about how and when to use drafts in elvex
What is a draft in elvex?
A draft in elvex is a temporary workspace for creating and editing content separate from the main chat window. It's a feature designed to give users more flexibility and control over their content creation process within the elvex platform.
Types of drafts in elvex
elvex can generate two types of drafts:
Text documents: For creating written content like emails, reports, articles, or code
Spreadsheets: For creating tabular data that can be viewed, edited, and analyzed
Why use a draft instead of creating content in the main chat window?
Using drafts in elvex offers several advantages over creating content directly in the main chat window:
Focused editing: Drafts provide a dedicated space for writing and editing, free from the distractions of ongoing conversations
Version control: You can create multiple versions of your content without cluttering the main chat
Complex content creation: For longer or more structured content, drafts offer a better environment than the chat window
Ways to adjust a draft
elvex provides various options for adjusting your drafts:
Editing in-line: You can make changes to the content, structure, and formatting of your draft at any time
Formatting: Apply different text styles, add headings, create lists, and more using elvex's formatting actions
Version history: Access previous versions of your draft to review changes or revert to an earlier state
How to export a draft
Exporting a draft allows you to use the content outside of elvex or share it with others who don't have access to the platform.
For text documents:
To maintain the format of the draft (e.g., headers, titles), highlight the draft and copy and paste the content
To access a markdown version, use the Copy button
For spreadsheets:
Use the Copy button to copy the spreadsheet data
Use the Download button to download the data as a CSV file
Remember that the availability of historical drafts may depend on your organization's retention policies and the specific settings of your elvex instance.
