The editor

The editor is where machine output becomes publishable work: retype blocks, restyle them, clean artwork, and check quality — on the canvas or text-first in the script panel.

The editor opens on the cleaned page with every text block overlaid. Click a block to edit its text, position and style directly on the artwork. Selection is exclusive across stacked pages so you always know what you are touching.

Undo/redo is interleaved across image and text — one history, one ⌘Z, exactly how you expect it.

Prefer working text-first? The script panel lists every block in reading order with its source text and translation side by side. Edit, regenerate reformulations for a block, or QA glossary usage — all without touching the canvas.

The top bar switches between Edit (1), Cleanup (2) and Preview (3). A page must be cleaned before it can enter Edit or Preview — the toolbar tells you when. Cleanup mode focuses on making the artwork ready: preserve zones, brush and inpaint only.

Zen mode (f) hides every panel for a distraction-free canvas.

The floating bar at the bottom of the canvas carries the tools: Select (V), Hand (H — or hold Space), Style presets (P), Brush (B), Inpaint (I), Manual translate and Text (T). Cleanup mode adds Preserve zones (S). The same bar hosts the language picker, chapter and page navigation, and zoom.

The Brush paints opaque strokes — white-out a zone, draw effects. Size (20–150), opacity, a color palette and a sub-eraser live in the floating deck; [ and ] resize on the fly.

The Inpaint brush masks the original text so the inpainting service erases it from the artwork. Auto mode triggers on each stroke; Manual mode lets you paint the whole mask first and fire once (shift+R). Preserve zones shield artwork from inpainting.

Missed by detection? Brush a region over untranslated art text and hit Translate: the region is OCR-ed, translated and cleaned in one action — blocks land on the page ready to adjust.

⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z undo and redo text edits, block moves, style changes and brush strokes together — one history, image included. Drags and rapid edits collapse into single steps, and each page keeps its own stack as you navigate.

In live collaboration, undo only replays your own edits — never a teammate’s.

By default the editor shows one page at a time. Toggle Single pages layout (⇧L, or the top-bar button) and every chapter page stacks into one continuous, native-scroll strip — like reading the final result while editing it.

Pages near the viewport mount as real canvases you can edit; far pages rest as lightweight images to keep scrolling smooth. Exactly one page is active at a time — tools, selection, text editing, inpaint and live collaboration all target it, and the browser URL follows along.

Selection is exclusive across pages: scroll away from it and the bottom bar shows a beacon with a Go to selection button (⌘G) to jump back. Pages that have not been cleaned yet appear as locked stand-ins.

The preview reader shows the final composed result — zoom, pages grid, and reading order. On phones and tablets the editor switches to a native-style layout with sheets, a page strip and touch-first tools, so you can review a chapter from anywhere.

The language picker in the tool bar ends with Add language…. Pick one or more targets and confirm: every already-OCR-ed page is translated in the new language automatically, with a live progress toast in the editor — no need to go back to the dashboard.
