Work with the document editor
Edit Markdown documents and skill files, save deliberately, and recover a previous version.
Open a document
The editor opens as an overlay — from a file in Files, from a Wapp's Skills list, or from a link Cheqq's agent surfaces after writing to a file. It works on .md, .markdown, and .txt files; anything larger than 1 MB opens read-only.
Edit and save
Use the toolbar for headings, bold/italic/strikethrough, inline code, links, lists (including task lists), blockquotes, and code blocks.
Cheqq backs up your in-progress edits automatically a few seconds after you stop typing — but that backup is a version snapshot, not the live document. Save your changes explicitly with the Save button or Cmd/Ctrl+S when you want them to actually persist. The status indicator makes the distinction visible: "Unsaved · backed up a moment ago" means your edits are safe from loss but haven't been committed yet. Closing with unsaved changes prompts you to save or discard first.
Tables and embedded HTML may simplify on save
If a loaded document already contains tables, images, or raw HTML, Cheqq warns you — the editor round-trips through Markdown, so those elements may be flattened the next time you save.
Editing a skill
If the document is a skill file, its name and description appear as separate frontmatter fields above the body, rather than as Markdown text you'd otherwise have to hand-edit.
Recover a previous version
Open the history icon in the editor header to see every save, autosave, and agent-written revision, each labeled with who made it and when. Select a version to preview it, or choose Compare with current for a line-level diff. Restore replaces the live document with that version — and is itself saved as a new version, so you can always undo a restore too.
