The editor, autosave and version history
Write section by section with autosave, a manual Save you can trust, version history, and find and replace.
Once a draft exists, the editor is where you write. Every proposal section lives in one document, saved automatically as you go, with a full history you can step back through.
What you'll do
- Read the save status pill and know when it is safe to close the tab
- Use manual Save when you want to be certain, not just when autosave lags
- Open version history, preview a version, and restore it
- Find and replace text across the document
Autosave and the save status pill
The editor saves your work automatically as you type. A small pill next to the toolbar tells you exactly where that stands:
- Saved is the resting state. It stays showing "Saved" for as long as nothing has changed, deliberately: it never fades to blank.
- Saving… appears briefly while a save is in flight.
- Offline means your changes are only saved on this device for now; they sync once your connection returns.
- Not saved covers three different causes: the save is struggling to land, you have been signed out, or this proposal was also edited elsewhere in another tab. Whichever it is, keep the tab open until it clears.
Hover or focus the pill to see a timestamp: "Last saved" a relative time while things are healthy, or "Not saved since" a relative time once something needs attention.
Manual Save
Autosave runs on its own, but a Save button sits right next to the pill, with its keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S shown alongside it. Pressing it forces a save right now rather than waiting for autosave's own timing. It is available in every state except when the proposal is in conflict with another tab's edits, which has its own resolution flow.
Open a proposal to Write and edit any section. The save pill sits beside Save, and the AI Coach panel on the right tracks your scores as you write.

Version history
Every proposal keeps a running history of snapshots. Open it from the clock icon in the utility strip:
Open Version history. Each row shows who made the snapshot, when, a label for what kind of snapshot it is (autosave, manual, before restore, before an AI rewrite, before or after generation, or submitted for review), and how many sections changed.


Version history Click Create version now to snapshot the current draft on demand, or click any row to preview it.
In the preview, click Restore this version to bring that snapshot's content back. A confirmation dialog explains what happens: "The current draft will be saved as a snapshot labelled 'Before restore' before being overwritten. This is reversible. You can restore the previous version from history." Choose Restore to proceed, or Keep editing to back out. Click Exit preview at any time to return to the live document without changing anything.
Restoring needs edit permission on the proposal, and it is not available on an approved and locked proposal; re-open it first. Restoring never loses work: the draft you had a moment ago is captured as its own "Before restore" snapshot first.
Find and replace
Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on a Mac) to open the find bar, even on a locked or read-only proposal, where jumping to a passage matters most. Type in the Find field and use Previous match and Next match to step through results, shown as a count like "3 of 12". Toggle Match case for an exact-case search. On a proposal you can edit, a Replace with field and Replace and Replace all buttons appear alongside it. Press Escape or click Close find to dismiss the bar.
Common questions
Can I lose work by closing the tab too early?
If the pill reads "Saved", it is safe. If it reads "Saving…", "Offline" or "Not saved", wait for it to clear, or use manual Save to force it before you leave.
What happens to my current draft if I restore an old version?
Nothing is discarded. Restoring first snapshots your current draft as "Before restore", then overwrites the document with the version you chose. You can always restore the "Before restore" snapshot to undo it.
