How to use the Outline Editor in KoalaWriter
If you want to customize your output more, we recommend enabling the Outline Editor. Doing this will enable you to add, remove, or rearrange article sections before creating the article.
In the Outline Editor, you will also get the option to give KoalaWriter more prompts about what to include in each section.
Now, let's walk through how to use the Outline Editor in KoalaWriter. The target keyword for my examples in this guide is "Can you eat watermelon seeds?"
Under the Advanced Options on the KoalaWriter page, you will find the Outline Prompt. This is an optional prompt; you can use the Outline Editor even without this.
But, if you already have an outline ready for the article, you can paste it here to save time.
Below is my sample article outline:
Notice how each H2 is placed on a new line, and each H3 is indented once. You can insert an indent by simply pressing the spacebar once before each H3.
Note: Currently, only one level of indention is supported, so you cannot add an H4.
Once you click "Create Article" after enabling the Outline Editor, you will be redirected to the Outline Editor page. Here, you can rearrange the sections, edit them, add more, or remove some.
If you don't like the article outline you get, you can click "Cancel" and try again. Your credits will not get used.
If you used the Outline Prompt, the Outline Editor page should show the sections you entered, plus an Introduction. KoalaWriter creates an introduction for each article by default, but you can remove it on the Outline Editor page.
Here is the Outline Editor page for the article outline I entered into the Outline Prompt:
• Turn an H2 to H3 or vice versa
To turn an H2 into an H3, click and drag it to the right. Note that you cannot move an H2 that has H3s under it.
If you want to turn an H3 into an H2, click and drag it to the left.
• Edit a subheading
