Manuscript Studio

AI enhancement

The accept-or-reject review panel — instructions and presets, variant history, the word-level diff, enhancing a selection, and reverting an accepted edit.

✦ Enhance is the core interaction of the product, and it is built on one rule: the AI never silently overwrites your work. Every suggestion arrives beside your text for you to accept, reject, regenerate or hand-edit.

The panel

Your draft on one side, the AI's on the other. On a phone it becomes a full-screen review sheet with a Mine · AI · Diff switch, because a 50/50 split at that width leaves two unreadable columns.

Steering the edit

A free-text instruction box, plus presets:

Preset What it does
Tighten Cuts without losing content
Expand Develops what is there
Simplify Plainer language
Proofread Corrects errors only — and opens on the diff
More vivid Stronger imagery
Formal Raises the register

Proofread is the one to know. It is a strict corrections-only instruction and it lands you on the Diff view automatically, because reviewing a short list of minimal corrections is the feature.

Variants and the diff

Every regeneration is kept. The ‹ › arrows walk back through previous attempts, so a better earlier version is never lost to one more try.

The Edit / Diff toggle shows a word-level comparison of your original against the draft. Hand-edits you make in the AI pane survive switching views, and Accept takes what is on screen — including your edits.

Enhancing a selection

Select a passage before pressing Enhance and the panel scopes to it: the instruction becomes "rewrite only this passage", the full chapter goes along as context, and Accept becomes Replace selection ✓.

The replacement is checked before it lands. If the passage changed while the panel was open, you get a clear message instead of a blind splice into the wrong place.

Reverting

Accepting snapshots the chapter first, so ↺ Revert AI change puts it back in one click.

That button covers the most recent accept. For anything older, use version history — every accept also writes a restore point.

What it costs

The button shows the price: ✦ Enhance · ≈2 cr. The number depends on the model you have selected, which you can change right there in the toolbar.

What to watch for

  • Enhancement is not streaming yet. The text arrives complete rather than word by word. Cancelling mid-call works.
  • A cut-off chapter is refused, not accepted. If a model hits its output limit the app raises an error rather than letting you accept a chapter that stops mid-sentence.
  • Enhance is per chapter. To redraft the whole book, use auto-draft.
