Generating Documents

Use AI to generate and manage project documentation.

Generating Documents

One of the most powerful features of Projects is the ability to generate comprehensive documentation automatically using AI. The Document tab is where you build the final output for your project.

Document Sections

Your document is divided into Sections (e.g., "Executive Summary", "Site Analysis"). These sections are defined by the Project Template you selected.

In the left sidebar of the Document tab, you can see a list of all sections.

  • Coloured dots indicate status:
    • Grey: Empty
    • Amber: Generating
    • Green: Populated (contains content)
    • Red: Error

Using AI Generation

You can generate content for individual sections or the entire document at once.

Generating the Whole Document

To fill all empty sections at once:

  1. Click the Generate button in the top right of the dashboard.
  2. The system will queue the request and start writing content for all AI-enabled sections that are currently empty.
  3. You will see a progress bar indicating the status.

Regenerating a Specific Section

If you want to rewrite a specific part of the document:

  1. Navigate to the section you want to change.
  2. Click the Generate (or Sparkles icon) button within that section's card.
  3. Confirm that you want to overwrite the existing content.

Manual Editing

While AI gives you a great head start, you often need to refine the content. Every section has a full Markdown editor.

  1. Click on a section to view it.
  2. Click inside the text area to start typing.
  3. You can use standard formatting (headings, lists, bold, etc.).
  4. Click Save (or use Cmd+S / Ctrl+S) to commit your changes.

Note: If you manually edit a section and then click "Regenerate", your manual changes will be overwritten by the new AI output.
