Write notes
Draft, revise, cite, and export with your sources beside you.
Notes are files you write in Anara. Keep them in project folders beside the sources that support your work.
Create and format
Choose Create > Note, create one from the command menu, or ask the agent to create a note. Use the editor toolbar to format headings, lists, to-do lists, tables, quotes, code blocks, and links. Select text to reveal contextual editing actions.
The editor supports LaTeX math. Use math blocks or the supported LaTeX syntax for equations and check the rendered result. See keyboard shortcuts for common formatting commands.
Write with the agent
Open Chat beside the note. Ask for a draft or revision with a clear source boundary and purpose. For example: "Draft a limitations section from the papers in this folder. Mark gaps rather than inventing evidence."
For Quick Edit, select the passage and describe a change such as "make this more concise." Review the proposed result and its citations before keeping it.
Add citations
- Select the claim that needs a source.
- Choose Search citation.
- Preview the candidate sources.
- Insert the source that supports the claim.
The format follows the global Settings > Preferences > Citation format preference. See citation styles.
Collaborate and restore
Notes in shared content support collaborative editing when people have write access. To inspect an earlier saved version, open the note menu and choose Version history, preview a version, then Restore if needed. See version history.
Export
Open the note menu and choose Export. Formats include PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML, LaTeX PDF, and LaTeX source. Check the exported file before sharing. See export, or use the Word add-in to work inside Word.
