Editing text & structure

Type to edit any text, restyle headings, and reshape a document on the page — all within the design Waxe composed, so changes stay on-brand.

Type to edit

Click any text in the document and start typing. There's no separate edit mode and no draft view — you're changing the real page, so what you see is what you send.

  • Fix wording, swap a name or update a figure in place.
  • Apply emphasis like bold within a sentence.
  • Delete or rewrite a paragraph without affecting the rest of the layout.

Headings and emphasis

Headings give a document its shape and help a reader scan. They're styled by the design direction you chose, so they already match your brand — you set what a heading says and which level it sits at, not its colour or font.

  1. Select the line

    Place your cursor on the heading or paragraph you want to change.

  2. Set its level

    Promote a line to a heading, or demote a heading to body text, to reflect its importance.

  3. Let the design apply

    The styling follows automatically so headings stay consistent across the document.

Adding and changing blocks

Documents are built from blocks — paragraphs, lists, headings, tables, images and more. Type "/" anywhere to insert a new block exactly where your cursor sits.

  • Insert a list, a table or an image from the slash palette — see The slash palette.
  • Turn a paragraph into a list, or merge lines back into prose.
  • Add pricing rows and media — covered in Tables, images & media.

Reshaping without breaking the design

You can move things around freely. As content grows or shrinks, it reflows across pages so the document stays neat — you don't manage page boundaries by hand.

Editing with confidence

Direct edits can be undone, and anything Waxe proposes is a preview you can reject — so you can experiment without risk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the font or colour of a single heading?

Styling comes from the design direction and your branding so the document stays consistent. To change how headings look overall, adjust your brand setup — see Brand colours & fonts.

How do I rewrite a whole section quickly?

Tell Waxe what you want — for example a shorter, more formal version — and preview the result on the page before accepting. See Surgical edits.

Will deleting a paragraph mess up the pages after it?

No. The document reflows automatically, so removing or adding content simply adjusts the pages. See Pagination & page breaks.

How do I add a table or an image while editing?

Type "/" where you want it and choose the block. Full detail is in Tables, images & media.
