Document editor
Learn how Cheqq's built-in editor handles Markdown documents and skill files, with version history.
Cheqq includes a Markdown document editor that opens as an overlay from Files, from a Wapp's Skills list, or directly from an agent's tool output in chat.
What it edits
The editor works with .md, .markdown, and .txt files. Skill files (used to extend what a Wapp's agent knows how to do) get an extra frontmatter section — name and description — edited separately from the document body. Files larger than 1 MB open read-only.
Formatting
The toolbar supports headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, links, bulleted/numbered/task lists, blockquotes, and code blocks. Content that already contains tables, images, or embedded HTML is flagged with a warning — those elements may be simplified the next time you save, since the editor round-trips through Markdown.
Autosave and versions
Every edit schedules an autosave a few seconds after you stop typing, but autosave only writes a version snapshot — it does not update the live document. The live document is written only when you explicitly save (the Save button, or Cmd/Ctrl+S). The save-status indicator reflects this distinction directly: "Unsaved · backed up a moment ago."
Version history
Open the history panel from the editor header to see every save, autosave, and agent-written revision, each labeled with its origin and author. Selecting a version shows a preview, or a line-level diff against the current document. Restoring a version replaces the live document and is itself saved as a new version — so restoring is never a dead end.
