AI Copilot

The AI Copilot operates in two distinct execution modes depending on user focus within the editor window:

In-Place Selection: Selecting specific words, sentences, or sections targets edits strictly to the highlighted text.
Global Scope: Executing instructions without active selection applies updates globally across all layout cards.
Instant Safety: Use the Undo command in the toolbar to immediately revert any unexpected generation outcomes.
