NodinWrite GLASS User Guide

Part One

Get started

What GLASS is, how the Home screen works, and how to create, open, and navigate around a document.

Part Two

Write

Tools for your everyday craft: typing, formatting text, fonts and color, paragraphs, lists, pasting, finding, and adjusting your view.

Part Three

Structure a manuscript

The scaffolding of a book: breaks, chapters, tables, notes, headers, page geometry, and reusable styles.

Part Four

Plan & focus

Scaffolding that stays out of the manuscript. This is your private space to put outlines, notes, character profiles, or whatever else you want. You can also enjoy built-in tools that can help you stay focused.

Part Five

Save, protect, recover

How your work is kept safe: saving, autosave, versions, crash recovery, encryption, and document details.

Part Six

Review & edit

Review Mode is where prose is evaluated: passes, tracked suggestions, comments, and the tools to accept or reject them.

Part Seven

Collaborate with an editor

Send one Edit Pass to another person and get their marked-up work back, by file, with no server and no accounts. These are Edit Packets.

Part Eight

Proofread

Spelling and grammar, checked entirely on your machine, using open-source Harper. Nothing is ever sent to a server. No GenAI is used.

Part Nine

Share the finished work

Send your manuscript out as a PDF, a Word file, or straight to a printer.

Part Ten

Settings & help

Preferences, the toolbar's behavior, the shortcut reference, updates, and getting help.
