Tools & Shortcuts

Paste content and tell Fable what to do with it, print a document, and use keyboard shortcuts to speed up your work.

Paste and Explain

When you paste content into a document โ€” a link, some text, an image, or HTML โ€” a dialog appears showing a preview of what you pasted.

From there, press Record to explain and say what to do with it. Fable combines your pasted content with your instruction and applies the edit to your document. In an empty document you can also choose Paste as is.

For example:

  • Paste an article and say "Incorporate the key facts into the background section"
  • Paste a URL and say "Add this as a reference and summarize what it's about"
  • Paste an image and say "Describe this image in the opening paragraph"

Fable automatically detects the content type โ€” plain text, URLs (with title and description preview), HTML, images, and video links โ€” so you can paste from anywhere. Pasting is available to owners and editors.

Want to bring in a whole file instead? Import it โ€” each file becomes its own document.

Print

The Print button in the editor header turns the current document into a PDF and opens it, ready to print or save.
