# Text editor

> Clevia’s editor is a Notion-style block editor with Markdown support. It’s built for research writing: clean formatting, fast keyboard shortcuts, @references for inline citations, and deep integration with Clevia AI and the AI Rewriter.

### Create a file

1. In your workspace, click **New file**
2. A blank page opens with the placeholder **“You can start writing here.”**
3. Start typing - **autosave** keeps your work up to date

### Page structure & best practices

* Start with **H1** title, then organize with **H2/H3**
* Keep one idea per paragraph; use **bullet lists** for results or steps
* Cite as you write with **@references**; generate the bibliography later

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Toolbar actions don’t apply">
    Ensure your caret/selection is within a text block. For code blocks, formatting is limited
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Pasted text looks odd">
    Use **Paste and match style** (browser shortcut) or clear formatting via selection → formatting off
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Citations not appearing">
    * Type **@** in the editor (not in a code block) and search by author/title
    * Check that the reference exists and is in the library
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Lag with very long pages">
    Split into multiple files/sections; close unused panels; see **Performance tips**
