The main tool categories are shown in the tabs across the top of Text Workshop.

When you select a category, its tools appear in the panel on the left side of the editor. This keeps the main text area large while allowing you to switch between tools quickly.

On mobile phones and narrower screens, the selected tool panel automatically moves below the editor.

The main editor is designed to handle both short text and larger documents.

On desktop computers, drag the lower edge of the editor to make the text area taller or shorter.

Select Expand Editor to open a near-full-screen editing workspace. The tool panels, statistics and other page controls are temporarily hidden so more space is available for your text.

To leave Expanded Editor mode, select Exit Expanded or press Esc on your keyboard.

Undo returns to an earlier version of your text. Redo restores an undone change.

Paste attempts to paste text from your clipboard. Some browsers may require you to use Ctrl + V instead.

Select All selects everything in the editor.

Copy copies the current text so it can be pasted into another document, email, website or application.

Clear empties the editor. If you clear something accidentally, try Undo before closing or refreshing the page.

Text Workshop automatically adjusts its layout for tablets and mobile phones.

On narrower screens, the text editor is shown first and the selected tool controls move underneath it. This gives the editor as much screen width as possible.

Some clipboard functions may behave differently on mobile devices depending on browser permissions. Your device's normal copy and paste controls can always be used if required.
