How Stet works, organized by what you are trying to do.
Getting started
What Is Stet
Stet is a document editor where AI agents and teammates can suggest edits that you review and accept on your own terms.
Core Concepts
A quick mental model for how Stet works.
The Interface
When you first launch Stet, you'll see a welcome screen with an "Open a folder" button. Pick any folder containing markdown files. Stet remembers your…
Writing
Editing Basics
Open a file from the left panel and start typing. Stet handles the rest.
Formatting
Stet supports common text formatting through a selection toolbar, the menu bar, and keyboard shortcuts.
Comments
Leave comments for collaborators right where they matter. Comments are for people; if you want to leave an instruction for an AI agent, use an AI note…
AI Notes
An AI note is an instruction you leave in the document for your AI agent to address the next time it works on the file. Notes are for agents; comments for…
Reviewing
How Changes Arrive
Suggestions appear in Stet automatically when someone — or something — edits your files.
Change Pills
Pills are the small floating indicators that connect suggestions to their locations in your document.
Reviewing a Change
Each suggestion is a proposed edit to your document. Here's how to evaluate and act on one.
Accepting and Rejecting Changes
How much review a change needs is up to you. Each folder's Local edits setting has three modes, set in the folder controls.
How Stet Grades Changes
With Review signals on, Stet grades every incoming change: significant, normal, or trivial. The grade decides what you see. Significant changes lead the…
Review Policy by Source
Choose how much review a change needs based on where it came from.
Notifications
Stet only interrupts you when a change is actually waiting on you.
Viewing One Editor's Changes at a Time
Focus on one contributor's suggestions for a thorough, end-to-end review.
Conflicts
A conflict happens when two contributors suggest changes to the same part of your document.
Collaboration
How Contributors Work
Contributors make suggestions by editing your project's files. Here's what that workflow looks like.
Working with AI
AI agents are first-class contributors in Stet. They edit your files directly, and Stet makes sure every change is visible and yours to keep or reject.
File Status Indicators
Colored markers in the files panel tell you at a glance what needs your attention. The color always means the change's state; the label says who made it.
Sharing a Document
Everything about handing a document to someone else lives behind the share button in the document header.
The Web Account Area
Manage your Stet account, devices, and sharing from a browser at sync.getstet.app/account. Desktop's account panel now links out here instead of holding…
