Editor
Write, format, and publish posts in the Paragraph editor.
The editor is where your posts take shape. Open Content in app.paragraph.com to see everything you've written: drafts, scheduled posts, and published pieces. Open any post to keep working on it.
Everything you publish lands on your website, and any post can also go out to your subscribers by email.
Start a post
There are two ways to begin:
- Start from scratch. Create a new post in the Editor area and start typing.
- Start with your agent. Ask for a draft in chat ("Help me outline a post about what I've been working on lately"). The draft lands in the editor, where you can shape it however you like.
Drafts and agent edits live in the same document. When your agent works on a post, you'll see its changes in the editor, and you can edit right over them. While chatting, the post opens in a side panel next to the conversation, and you can expand it into the full editor at any time. From the full editor, Open chat brings your agent back alongside the post.
Your work saves automatically as you write.
Write and format
Give your post a title, then write the body below it. Select any text to bring up formatting options like bold, italic, links, and color.
To add a block, type / on a new line to open the insert menu, then pick what you want (or keep typing to filter). You can add:
- Headings, lists, to-do lists, quotes, and dividers
- Callouts and collapsible sections to organize longer posts
- Code blocks and inline equations (LaTeX between
$$marks) - Images, tables, and footnotes
- Embeds (a YouTube video, an X post, a Spotify track, and more)
- Buttons to subscribe, share, or link out
For an embed, choose Embed from the menu and paste a link. You can also paste a link on its own line, and Paragraph turns it into an embed.
Cover images
Every post can have a cover image. You can:
- Upload one. Add an image file, or drag and drop it onto the cover area.
- Generate one in your own look. Choose Generate and Paragraph draws a couple of options from your post, matched to the look you already run: your visual brand references and the covers on your published posts. With both, you get one option from each.
- Choose a style. Choose Choose style to browse art directions (a risograph print, editorial photography, a cut-paper collage, and more), each shown as an example image. Pick one and Paragraph generates options for your post in that style.
Either way you get a set of options you can arrow through, apply, or replace with new ones. Once you're in the options view you can ask for more in the same style, or switch to a different one. If you haven't published a cover yet and haven't set a visual brand, Generate takes you to the styles, since there's no look to match yet.
You can swap or remove the cover at any time before or after publishing.
Publish a post
Click Publish in the editor. Before anything goes live, you'll review the final settings.
Check the social preview: the cover, title, and description readers will see when your post is shared or found in search.
Set the post URL. Paragraph suggests a slug from your title, and you can edit it.
Credit the right author. If your publication has more than one member, you can change who the post is bylined to, or add a second author. You'll only see this step when there's somebody else to credit.
Choose whether to deliver the post as a newsletter. If it's on, you'll see how many subscribers will receive it. See Newsletters for details.
Publish now, or schedule for later.
Schedule for later
Instead of publishing right away, pick a date and time and Paragraph publishes the post for you. Scheduled posts show up in the Schedule area, alongside your agent's scheduled tasks, so you can see your whole week at a glance.
Get a post ready with your agent
When a draft feels close, ask your agent to help you get it ready to publish. It reviews the post and surfaces:
- A settings recap where you can adjust the slug, author, newsletter delivery, and cover in place.
- Review suggestions you can apply or skip.
- A publish bar to publish or schedule when you're happy.
Nothing publishes until you say so. Your agent always asks before anything goes public.
