To generate your lesson plan in a side-by-side editable document rather than a standard chat response, what crucial step must you take before sending your prompt?
To generate your lesson plan in a side-by-side editable document rather than a standard chat response, you must click the “Canvas” button below the text entry box (or tap the + icon on mobile).
Standard AI chat interfaces push every response into a single, continuous thread. If you type your prompt normally, your lesson plan simply becomes another message you have to scroll past. Selecting the Canvas feature before submitting your request changes this default layout.
Clicking that specific button triggers a split-screen workspace. It tells the system to load your generated text into a dedicated document editor right next to your ongoing chat. This side-by-side view keeps your primary document stable and organized. You can easily tweak paragraphs, fix formatting, and read the entire plan clearly while still using the chat box to ask the AI for new ideas or revisions. It eliminates the constant scrolling, copying, and pasting usually required in traditional chat threads.
