The Helperbird Notepad is a writing space with a toolbar across the top. This guide is the map of that toolbar: what each button does, and which guide covers it.
To get the Notepad open, see opening the Notepad.
What Each Toolbar Button Does
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| New document | Starts a fresh, empty page |
| Save | Stores the document you are working on |
| Copy | Adds a second copy of the document to your list. The message says "Copied to clipboard", but nothing goes on your clipboard |
| Delete | Removes the document from your list |
| Text stats | Counts words, characters and sentences, and eleven more figures below them |
| My Notes | Drops a note you saved while reading into the page you are writing |
| Notepad options | Opens the download list. Hovering it says "Download", which is what it does |
| View | Opens a document you saved earlier. It is the pink button on the far right, set apart from the others |
Saving is a Button, Not Automatic
The Notepad does not save as you type. What you have written stays in the page until you click Save, so click it before you close the tab.
New document, Save, Copy, Delete and the downloads behind Notepad options all need Helperbird Pro. Without it, clicking one shows a Pro feature message and nothing is stored. Typing, formatting and Text stats are not gated.
Where your documents are kept, and what to do when a long one will not save, are covered in saving a document.
