Sketch Editor

Available

The Sketch Editor with a planning table showing time, narrative, actions, and screenshot columns

The Sketch Editor is where you plan your demo before recording anything. It provides a structured 4-column table for scripting your walkthrough, along with a title, description, and integrated screenshot capture.

Planning Table

Each sketch contains a planning table with drag-and-drop reorderable rows. Every row has four columns:

Column	Description
Time	Target timing for this segment (e.g., 0:30)
Narrative	What you’ll say — your voiceover script
Demo Actions	What happens on screen — clicks, navigation, typing
Screenshot	Reference image showing the expected screen state

Inline Editing

Click any cell to edit it directly. The table supports:

• Rich text formatting in narrative and action cells
• Nested bullet lists at any depth (sub-bullets render correctly)
• Drag handles on the left to reorder rows
• Add/remove rows with the toolbar buttons
• Keyboard navigation: Tab to move between cells, Ctrl+Enter to add a row

Screenshot Capture

Each row’s screenshot cell has a capture button that opens the Screen Capture Overlay. This lets you:

• Select from multiple monitors
• Draw a region to capture, or capture the full screen
• The captured image is stored with the sketch and displayed as a thumbnail
• Click any thumbnail to open a lightbox for full-size preview

AI-Powered Improvements

The Sketch Editor includes ✨ sparkle buttons on the title, description, and each planning row. These provide one-click AI improvements:

• Empty fields — The sparkle button generates content based on context (e.g., generates a title from description and planning rows)
• Populated fields — The sparkle button improves existing content (refines wording, adds detail, fixes grammar)

Sparkle buttons use the configured Azure OpenAI endpoint in silent mode — results appear directly in the field without opening the chat panel.

Tip

The AI chat panel (💬 in the sidebar) provides a more interactive way to refine your sketches. You can ask built-in agents to rewrite sections, add rows, or restructure your planning table. See Sparkle Buttons for full details.

Document Lifecycle

Sketches progress through lifecycle states:

1. Draft — Initial planning phase, freely editable
2. Recording Enriched — After recording, actions are linked back to sketch rows
3. Refined — After AI agent processing (coming soon)
4. Final — Locked for production

Versioning

Every Ctrl+S creates a named snapshot of the current sketch state. The Version History panel (right sidebar) shows a visual timeline graph where you can:

• Browse all saved versions
• Preview any past version without losing current work
• Restore or fork from a previous version
• See dirty/unsaved state indicators

Tip

Versioning uses gitoxide (gix) — a pure-Rust git implementation. Your project folder becomes a lightweight git repository for document history, completely separate from your source code git repo.
