Writing Your First Post

Creating a New Post

Navigate to Posts from your dashboard and click New Post. This opens the post editor where you can write and format your content.

The Editor

Copy Company uses a rich text editor powered by TipTap. You can format text with headings, bold, italic, lists, links, images, and code blocks — all without writing any HTML. The editor supports standard keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italic.

Post Fields

  • Title — Required. This becomes the headline of your blog post and the basis for its URL slug.
  • Content — Required. The body of your post, written in the rich text editor.
  • Excerpt — Optional. A short summary (up to 500 characters) shown in post listings and search results.
  • Featured Image — Optional. An image displayed at the top of your post and in social previews.
  • Tags — Optional. Categorize your post by topic to help readers find related content.

Saving Drafts

New posts are saved as drafts automatically. While you’re writing, your content is also saved to your browser’s local storage so you won’t lose work if you accidentally close the tab. If you return to the create page within 24 hours, you’ll be offered the option to restore your previous draft.

You can also press Cmd+S (Mac) or Ctrl+S (Windows) to save your draft at any time.

Using the AI Assistant

The editor includes a built-in AI Assistant panel on the right side of the screen. You can ask it to help you brainstorm ideas, write sections, or refine your content. The AI uses your brand’s voice settings (tone, style, and writing samples) to match your brand’s voice.

When the AI suggests content you like, click to copy it and paste it into your editor.

Tip: Set up your brand’s tone, style, and writing samples in Settings → Brand before writing your first post. The AI assistant will produce much better suggestions when it knows your voice.
