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.

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:

  1. Focused editing: Drafts provide a dedicated space for writing and editing, free from the distractions of ongoing conversations.

  2. Version control: You can create multiple versions of your content without cluttering the main chat.

  3. 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:

  1. Editing in-line: You can make changes to the content, structure, and formatting of your draft at any time.

  2. Formatting: Apply different text styles, add headings, create lists, and more using elvex's formatting tools.

  3. 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. To maintain the format of the draft (eg. headers, titles) highlight the draft and copy and paste the content. To access a markdown version use the "Copy" button.

Finding historical drafts

To locate drafts from previous conversations in elvex:

  1. Navigate to the "Conversations" section in elvex.

  2. Use the search function to find relevant conversations by date, topic, or keywords.

  3. Once you've found the conversation, look for any draft attachments or links within the chat.

  4. Click on the draft to open and view its contents.

Remember that the availability of historical drafts may depend on your organization's retention policies and the specific settings of your elvex instance.
