# AI Drafting Assistant

Invoke the AI Drafting Assistant at any time with the AI button on the toolbar, from **Tools > Drafting Assistant**, or by pressing Ctrl+\<Space>.

When you invoke the Drafting Assistant with text selected, it offers options for working on the selected text.

Any proposed changes to the selected text are presented in a popup. You can toggle between seeing the proposed new text or seeing a redline of the differences between your existing text and the proposed new text. You can choose to **Accept**, **Discard**, or **Try again** (to have the AI run the same command again for different results).

When there is no selection the Drafting Assistant will offers ideas for new content, adapted to the present context.

* In an empty document it will suggest drafting an outline.
* When the cursor is on an outline point it will suggest drafting points for a clause.
  * These will be returned as \[to do] text. You can right-click to delete a whole point in a single operation, or simply edit the suggestions with your mouse or keyboard.
* When the cursor is in a list of \[to do] points, it will suggest drafting the text of a clause.

## Editing a Suggestion Redline

When the Drafting Assistant suggests new text you can choose to view it alone or as a redline against the existing text. In the redline view struck-out red text represents what is already in the document, and underlined blue text suggested changes.&#x20;

You can pick and choose individual changes by clicking on them to reject them. You will see the redline adapt immediately to reflect your rejection of a suggested deletion or insertion. This gives you complete control over the AI suggestions; you do not have to accept or reject the suggestions as a whole.
