Overview

Your writing workspace

These five blocks are actual screens in the product. Writing, picking a venue, running an experiment, keeping PDFs, and packing a submission are not the same job, so they are written separately.

1. 01·Write

   New paper asks how to begin; open the workbench to edit one you have

   From the top bar, open My papers. New paper asks how to begin: from a topic, from an experiment, or by uploading one you have. From a topic: chat on the left, the page on the right. Finish data and venue, then start. You can leave while it runs; the paper shows up in the list when it is ready. You can also upload Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or a ZIP to keep editing—not a PDF.

   Open workbench continues a paper you already have: outline on the left, text in the middle, layout preview on the right. The preview does not update as you type—click Update preview. The top bar can switch to another venue in the same language. A Chinese draft cannot use an English venue, and the reverse is also blocked.

2. 02·Templates

   Preview the venue before you write in it

   Open Templates from the site nav. Filter by conference, journal, or thesis, or search by name. A card opens that venue’s own page, with page one, column count, title block, and language. Conference pages also show a countdown; the official site wins if the dates differ.

   The venue you pick is carried into the workbench. If it is wrong, switch to another venue in the same language from the workbench top bar, then Update preview.

3. 03·Experiment

   A separate top-bar place to design a run, analyze data, and make figures

   Experiment in the top bar is a separate place from My papers. You can talk through the idea first, then design a run once methods, controls, and metrics are clear. Enter sends. Type @ to pick Design experiment, Data analysis, or Drawing.

   Take figures and results back to My papers when you write them up. Do not put demo numbers from the interface into a submission.

4. 04·Knowledge

   PDFs for this paper live in Knowledge, so you can ask and cite

   Knowledge is the long-lived place for files. Create a space, name it, and upload the PDFs for this paper (and anything you will reopen later). Wait until files show as ready. Inside a space, files are on the left and generated pages in the middle.

   You can ask in two places. Inside a space, Ask answers only from files uploaded there. Under the draft in the workbench, Continue, Rewrite, and Ask sit next to the text; you can open the source and then decide what to put in the paper. If files are still processing, answers will be empty.

5. 05·Download & submit

   Download the draft, share it for comments, pack it for the venue

   In the workbench or My papers, Download offers PDF, Word, LaTeX, or slides. For a double-blind venue, take the blind PDF and check page one and the acknowledgments for names.

   Share → Generate invite link lets a colleague comment in the browser. Update preview first so a PDF exists. The link lasts about 30 days.

   Submit → download the pack builds files for the venue currently selected. Check them against the official site before you upload. What to strip for double-blind, and what else belongs in the pack, is under Before you submit below.

Before you submit

Venue rules are not on the product buttons. These guides cover the usual sticking points: choosing a venue, what to strip for double-blind, what to put in the pack, and Chinese journals versus conferences. The rest is under Before submit in the sidebar.

• Double-blind
• What to pack
• Chinese journals
• Conf. vs journal

Keep this open while you write

Commands, environments, lengths. The venue template already set the column—look up how to write, do not resize the block.
