What each lesson covers

The tutorial, lesson by lesson.

01

Open and activate the right editor

Click or focus the pane you want to change; the active artifact becomes the editor target.

With the Q3 board deck and the budget sheet both open in the right-hand pane, click inside the Slide editor showing the deck, then ask: Make slide 4 the risks slide: three risks, one line each, with an owner named on every line.

02

Confirm the editing chip

Check that the artifact title and editing label appear above the composer before requesting a change.

Look above the composer for the chip that reads Editing: followed by a file name. If it shows onboarding-email.docx instead of the leave policy, click the leave policy's pane first, then ask: Tighten the introduction to three sentences.

03

Ask for a focused revision

Describe what should change and what must stay untouched; explicit new-output requests create new work instead.

With sales-forecast.xlsx targeted, ask: Change the growth assumption in C3 from 6% to 4% and update anything that depends on it. Do not touch the formatting or the Notes tab.

04

Switch or stop targeting

Focus another editor to retarget chat, or remove the editing chip to stop sending editor context.

Click the Design pane holding the spring-fair poster so the chip reads Editing: spring-fair-poster, then remove the chip with its close control and ask: What bleed should I leave on an A3 print?
