To connect a hosted AI provider to Scribeist, you need to be on a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) plan. After upgrading, go to 'Account' > 'Integrations', choose the provider you want to connect (such as OpenRouter, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, or Mistral), paste your API key, and save the connection. Scribeist will validate the key before saving it.

Canvas is a visual workspace in Scribeist for planning, brainstorming, and organizing ideas. It allows you to create mind maps, timelines, character relationship diagrams, and more using flexible nodes and connections. Canvas is available in all workspaces and board tabs, except Mythos entity tabs.

The Editor in Scribeist is a distraction-free writing environment with markdown support, visual formatting tools, and automatic version history. It includes a top toolbar for formatting options, a text selection toolbar for quick actions, and an editor canvas for writing. The Editor supports both markdown shortcuts and visual formatting, allowing you to choose your preferred method.

In Scribeist, deleted documents, folders, and canvases are moved to the Trash tab, where they can be restored or permanently deleted. Items remain in Trash until you choose to permanently delete them. The Trash tab is available on Hobby and Pro plans; on the Free plan, all deletions are permanent.

A workspace in Scribeist is a self-contained writing environment for a specific project, with its own files, settings, and organization. Scribeist offers three workspace types: Novel for fiction and storytelling, Blog for articles and web publishing, and General for notes and freeform writing. Each workspace type is optimized with tools and layouts tailored to its specific writing needs.
