Make an editable document

Turn a brief into a formatted document, edit it directly, and check Word and PDF exports.

1. Ask for the file you need

Select Work and send the prompt below. Specify an editable document, audience, length, sections, and source material. If you have an existing brief, attach it and explain which facts must stay exact. This exercise uses a fictional game, so no research is needed.

Create an editable two-page player guide for a fictional browser game called Star Collector. Audience: first-time players age 10 and up. Include a title, short introduction, keyboard and touch controls, the goal of collecting 10 stars, three practical tips, and a troubleshooting table. Use clear headings and short paragraphs. Treat the game details in this brief as the source of truth. Deliver an editable document artifact, not just text in chat.

2. Open and review the document

Open the document artifact. Read the headings and controls before adjusting the appearance. Correct any mismatch with your game. A downloadable DOCX or PDF alone is not the same as an editable document artifact: ask Work for the editable version if you need in-app editing.

3. Make a direct edit

Click in the document and change the title or a sentence. Select text to use formatting controls, add a list, or insert a table. Use Find and replace for repeated wording. Watch the save status and wait until your changes are saved.

4. Revise with AI

Select a paragraph and use AI rewrite for a local wording change, or ask Work in the same task to revise a named section. Be explicit about the document and preserve the facts you have already checked. If the editor reports a newer version while you have local edits, review the choice before replacing your draft.

5. Export and inspect

Open Export and choose Word or PDF. Use Page setup to adjust print layout when needed. Open the downloaded file and inspect page breaks, headings, tables, and spacing. Keep the editable document for future revisions; download a fresh export after editing.

In the Star Collector player guide, rewrite only the introduction in a warmer voice and shorten it to 60 words. Preserve the controls, game rules, troubleshooting table, and existing headings. Update the editable document.

If something goes wrong

If an export has an awkward page break, adjust Page setup or shorten that section and export again. If saving fails, keep the editor open and resolve the save error before closing. Use Version history to inspect available saved versions.
