Editing a single document

Sometimes one document needs a special sentence, a different table row or a corrected paragraph. Open it in the document editor and change exactly that. The template and the product are never touched.

How to open it

• From New document: Open in editor. The document is saved first if needed.
• From a document's page: Edit document.
• From the Documents list: the row menu > Edit document.
• From a product's Documents tab: the row menu > Edit document.

What you can change

• Text, with the toolbar: paragraph and heading styles, bold, italic, underline, alignment, links, bullet and numbered lists.
• Tables: add or delete rows and columns, merge cells and delete the table.
• Dividers and page breaks, plus undo and redo.
• The document name, in the Document name field.

Saving

Saving is manual, so you are always in control. The badge near the title shows Unsaved changes or All changes saved.

• Save changes (or Ctrl+S / Cmd+S) saves your edits into the current version.
• Save as new version keeps the current version exactly as it was and stores your edits as the next version.
• Downloading a PDF or Word file, or opening the share dialog, saves pending edits first.
• If you try to leave with unsaved edits, the browser asks you to confirm.

Editing in two places

If you edit the same document in two tabs, SpecIQ will not silently overwrite the newer one. You will see This document was changed somewhere else and can choose Reload latest or Keep mine and overwrite.

Read-only documents

If a document contains something the editor cannot hold without losing it, SpecIQ opens it read-only and says what would be dropped. You can still view and download it. To make changes, edit the template and regenerate the document.
