# The editor

Posts are written in a full-screen block editor. **Markdown is the source of truth** — everything you build round-trips to markdown and back, so nothing you write is locked into Bloggable's format.

You can switch between the rich editor and raw markdown at any time.

## Slash commands

Type `/` anywhere to insert a block without leaving the keyboard. That's the fastest way to reach any of the eighteen content blocks: callouts, CTAs, buttons, toggles, galleries, vouchers, quotes, code, tables and the rest.

## Paste-to-embed

Paste a URL and it becomes an embed or a bookmark card automatically. YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, SoundCloud, CodePen and X are recognised as media; anything else becomes a link card.

## AI where your cursor is

Select a passage, or use the slash menu, to run an AI edit on *that text* rather than the whole article. This is the cheapest AI action in the product and the one worth building a habit around. See *Writing posts with AI*.

## The panels

- **Sidebar** — post metadata: title, slug, excerpt, featured image, author, category, tags.
- **SEO panel** — title tag, meta description, keywords, structured data, and previews of how the post will look on Google, Facebook and X.
- **Content score** — live composite of human-ness, AEO, SEO and readability, with specific flagged passages and one-click fixes.
- **Link panel** — every link in the document, in one list, so you can audit or remove them.
- **Publish panel** — publish, schedule, unpublish.

## Saving

The editor autosaves as you work; there's no save button to forget. Editing an already-published post asks whether you want to change the live version or fork a V2 draft.

## Reusable elements

Anything you paste into every post — a CTA, a disclaimer, a product callout — should be a reusable element instead. Save it once and have it injected automatically, including by autopilot. See *Reusable elements*.

## What isn't there yet

- **Revision history.** There's no version timeline to roll back through; the V2 draft fork is the safety net for substantial edits to live posts.
- **A media library browser.** You can upload images, but there's no screen for managing what you've already uploaded. See *Images and media*.
