Field notes
Documents are described as Markdown files in a folder in the user’s Documents, and the page says they remain unchanged beneath the formatted view. The manuscript layout includes submission-oriented details such as running heads and page-specific footnotes; exports are available as Word files and PDFs. A separate pocket holds reusable snippets, while a full-screen mode hides surrounding interface elements.
