Writing a document yourself, in the browser

You do not need an assistant for everything. On any site, the Add button (and the + beside any space in the navigation) offers "Write a document". It is a normal rich-text editor: headings look like headings, bold looks bold, and you never see Markdown syntax. Paste from Word or a web page and the formatting that Profusia can keep is kept. You can drop pictures straight in. What gets stored is Markdown, which is deliberate — it is what lets your assistant pick the document straight back up later and revise it. Occasionally a document opens showing Markdown source instead, with a line explaining why. That happens when it contains something the visual editor cannot hold without changing it — a table, or a nested list. Profusia checks each document before opening it and shows the source rather than risk quietly altering your content. There is a Markdown / Rich text switch in the toolbar either way. To edit a document that already exists, open it and use Edit.
