The complete help book that ships inside the app. Typeset for reading, or in plain text for your AI assistant.

Both reading editions were typeset in Squire Editor, the same way your book will be. What you are about to read is also a sample of what the app makes.

Handing it to an AI instead?

The plain text version is the same manual, in the format assistants read best. Drop it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any assistant you already use, and ask your questions in your own words. How do I bring in my Word draft. Will the free version cover my book. What does the Full Edition change. The manual answers honestly, and so will your assistant.
