Writing in PeerNotes usually doesn’t start with a blank page. It starts with the thoughts you’ve already captured — and a note is where you compile them into something structured. This guide walks through the full writing flow, from selecting thoughts to publishing an article.
1

Review a topic

Open the Thoughts feed and filter by the topic you want to write about — or browse the Topics page to see where thinking has accumulated.
2

Select the thoughts that hold up

Select each thought you want to include. A floating bar tracks your selection at the bottom of the screen.
3

Convert to Note

Choose Convert to Note. Your selected thoughts land in a new note, ready to be shaped into prose.
You can also start a blank note from the Notes feed when you already know what you want to say.

​
Write and structure

The editor is built for prose: headings, bullet and numbered lists, bold and italic, and links. Everything saves automatically as you type — close the tab mid-sentence and your draft will be waiting. A few practices that make notes your peers can actually engage with:
Lead with your point. Put the conclusion, question, or recommendation in the first sentence. Teammates skimming the feed decide from that line whether to open the note.
One idea per note. Focused notes are easier to discuss, easier to find, and easier to publish. If you’re covering two things, write two notes.
Attach your sources. When a note cites the material it came from, reviewers can check the original rather than taking your word for it. See Sources.
Ask the assistant before you share. The AI assistant will tell you what a careful reader is going to ask. Better to hear it before your teammates do.

​
Tag topics

Add topics to keep the note discoverable alongside the related thoughts and articles in your workspace. Thoughts you compiled usually carry their topics with them.

​
Share, then publish

Notes start private. When a draft is ready for other eyes:
  1. Share with workspace members — open the note’s share panel and choose who can read and respond. This is the feedback stage: teammates challenge the argument, fill gaps, and push the thinking further.
  2. Publish as an article — when the note holds up, select Publish. The publish dialog previews the article (title, excerpt, reading time) and lets you choose whether the working note stays visible. Published articles reach every workspace member.
Keep editing after publishing — you can republish at any time and the article updates in place.
