Re-prompt or edit documents created from Tools

Updated over a week ago

After you create a document using Tools, you’ll be taken to a text editor where you can tailor content to be exactly what you need. Whether you change the document yourself or re-prompt certain sections using AI, customizing documents created with Tools allows you to:

  • Meet specific student needs and learning goals

  • Align materials with your teaching style and curriculum

  • Enhance engagement by incorporating relevant examples

  • Differentiate instruction to accommodate diverse learning levels

To edit a document you’ve already created:

  1. Find the document you created by going to the Tool you used to create it. You can also find documents in Tools > Recent Documents

  2. Edit your document in the same way that you would edit a Google Doc or Microsoft Word document. Use the top options box to change the style and format

Add text or images

For more options, including images, type the backslash (/) symbol into a new line on the document. This opens up a new menu with several options for making changes, including the ability to add AI-generated images directly into your document.

To add an AI-generated image, table, or for additional formatting options:

  1. Select your Enter or Return on your keyboard and press the / button

  2. A menu will appear to change the format, use AI, or insert a new component. Make a selection

  3. If necessary, add your prompt, customize through the dropdown, and select Generate

Re-prompting sections of the document using AI

Sometimes, you may want to adjust only a portion of the generated document by re-prompting. You can ask the AI to shorten, simplify, or change the tone of your text. To use AI to change specific sections of the document:

  1. Highlight the section of your document you’d like to re-prompt

  2. Select the AI tools button from the toolbar

  3. This will open a menu with options for editing

  4. Make a selection from the given options to automatically change the text. Otherwise, choose Custom Prompt to edit in a new way

  5. A new prompt box will be inserted right into the document. The original text is located at the top, and you can enter instructions for your new prompt below

  6. Type in your new prompt into the prompt box and use the dropdown option to change the tone

  7. Select Generate text, then select Insert when you’re confident with the changes

Your documents are saved automatically. Share or export the documents using the buttons at the top of the page.

Printing your document

Currently, SchoolAI does not support printing directly from the Editor. To print your document, you’ll need to follow these simple steps:

  1. Export Your Document: Click the Export button located in the upper right-hand corner of the Editor

  2. Save the File to Your Computer: Choose your preferred file format and save the exported document to your computer

  3. Print the Document: Open the saved file on your computer and print it using your printer’s settings

By exporting your document first, you’ll have the flexibility to print from any device connected to a printer.
