Getting started with TypeTeX

This quick-start checklist gets your first workspace running in minutes. Follow each step and you will be ready to draft with AI, collaborate with co-authors, and export publication-ready manuscripts.

1. Create your workspace

1. Sign up with your institutional email.
2. Name your workspace after your lab or project so collaborators can find it quickly.
3. Configure data residency if your institution has compliance requirements.

2. Import your sources

• Drag-and-drop PDFs, datasets, or notes directly into TypeTeX.
• Organize them into collections that map to research themes.
• Let the ingestion pipeline extract citations and metadata automatically.

3. Start drafting

• Open the editor and ask the AI assistant to outline a section using your uploaded sources.
• Use inline suggestions to rewrite or expand paragraphs—every change links back to the relevant source material.
• Switch to the live PDF preview to confirm layout and compliance with your target journal.

4. Collaborate and export

• Invite advisors or co-authors with the appropriate roles (viewer, commenter, or editor).
• Track edits and resolve feedback threads in context.
• When you are ready, export your manuscript to PDF, Word, or LaTeX with one click.
