File library

The library lets you store and quickly access various files related to the project. Instead of having documents stored on your computer's desktop, or stashed away in various folders, you can store all the research you need in one place so you can access it quickly, without switching to another app.

The library tool displays all files that you've added to your current project, along with a small preview or file icon. You can click on any file to open a preview windows, delete the file, or click the icon to download the file.

If your project has the bibliography tool enabled, you can also click the icon to open the corresponding source in the bibliography.

File preview

Click on any file to open the preview window. You can add any files you want to the library, but at the moment previews are only available for images, pdf, txt and md files.

The left part of the window shows the file contents and the file controls. You can rename the file, delete it, or search within the file. You can also scroll between project files using the arrows at the bottom of the window.

The right side of the window is the file chat. The Shy Editor AI assistant can answer any question you have about the file or help you understand it's contents.
