Frequently Asked Questions

No. Question Answer

1

What's the difference between this and the existing "Create Manual from PDF" feature?

The existing "Create Manual from PDF" feature imports one PDF page as one step image.

This new feature uses AI to automatically generate titles and descriptions based on the content of the original PDF.

2

Is it possible to edit the generated images?

Generated covers and step images can be edited and replaced just like regular manual editing.
Step images are generated with highlighted portions from the referenced PDF during step creation.
Since the highlighting uses the spotlight feature of the image editor, it can be re-edited.
You can also perform other operations such as cropping images and adding marking shapes.
