Drafts

When you ask the AI to change something in your project, it doesn't just do it. Instead it hands you a draft card — a proposed note, set of tags, claim, or rewrite — right there in the conversation. Nothing it suggests becomes real until you accept it.

When a draft card appears

A draft card shows up whenever the AI produces something that would change your project. Ask it to file a new note, summarize a source, tag a batch of files, pull claims out of a paper, reorganize or rename notes, or rewrite a note — and each time you get a card describing exactly what it wants to do. The card appears right under the AI's message, so you never have to go looking for it.

Accept
Files the draft exactly as shown. The button is labeled for the task at hand — "Approve & file" for a note, "Approve & ingest" for a source, "Approve & apply" for tags or properties — and once you accept, the card collapses into a short "Filed:" line that links straight to whatever was created.
Edit before running
When the AI proposes a runnable cell, you can tweak the contents before it runs — your edited version is what gets used. Other kinds of drafts aren't edited in place; you're deciding on exactly what the AI produced.
Discard
Removes the card and does nothing else. Nothing is written and nothing is saved — if you change your mind, just ask the AI to try again.
Why there's no second step

Because you already made the call at the card itself, accepting a draft files the change straight away — you don't then have to approve it a second time in the Proposals panel. If you'd rather review a change more carefully before it lands — comparing the before and after side by side — see The propose → review → approve loop.

A note draft sitting inline in the conversation: a bold headline ("2 notes"), a one-line explanation of why the AI is suggesting it, an expandable preview of what each note would contain, and Approve & file / Discard buttons along the bottom.
