Documents are where the long-form writing happens: scripts, briefs, treatments, notes, anything that is prose rather than cards.

Creating a document

• In a project: create a document alongside your whiteboards.
• On a canvas: press D or pick Doc from the toolbar. The document sits on the board as an element and opens into the full editor when you click it.

Putting a document on the board is the useful trick: the script lives next to the moodboard, the shot list and the research that produced it, instead of in a separate app.

Writing in it

The editor handles everything you would expect from a rich text editor, plus a few blocks worth knowing about:

• Headings, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code blocks and dividers
• Callouts for something the reader must not miss
• Toggle sections that collapse, for detail that would otherwise bury the main thread
• Tables, images and embedded video
• Links, including bookmark-style link cards

Finding your way around a long document

Long documents get a mini table of contents built from your headings, so you can jump between sections instead of scrolling. This is another reason to use real headings rather than bold text that looks like one.

You can also give a document a cover and an icon, which makes it recognisable at a glance when several are open in a project.

Working with other people

You can leave comments in a document and mention collaborators in them, so feedback attaches to the sentence it concerns rather than arriving separately.

The AI assistant

Open the assistant with the AI button in the top navigation and it writes into the document itself, not into the chat: adding a section, rewriting one section without touching the rest, replacing a table, or retitling it.

Highlight first for a targeted edit. Select a paragraph and ask for a rewrite and it rewrites that paragraph. Ask with nothing selected and it works on the document as a whole.

Checking the writing

The Writing Analyzer reports readability and length, flags specific sentences worth another look, and estimates how AI-generated the prose reads. See Writing Analytics.

Saving and getting it out

Documents save automatically as you type, so there is nothing to remember. When it needs to leave Storyflow, export it as a PDF, a Word document or plain text.

Tips and tricks

Paste markdown straight in. Markdown pasted into a document is converted into real formatting rather than arriving as literal asterisks.

Use headings as structure, not styling. They drive the mini table of contents and they carry across into exports. Bold text does neither.

Toggles for the appendix. Research, alternates and rejected options can live in collapsed toggles at the end, present for anyone who wants them and invisible to everyone else.
