DOCUMENTS & WRITING
Writing and editing in The Study Concept
Documents turn course material into an active study workspace. Read in a clean layout, mark what matters, ask for clarification, practise a section, and create Concept Cards without losing your place.
The key ideaYour document, notes, explanations, and review tools stay attached to the same course context—so you can move from reading to recall without rebuilding your work.
Open a document
Open Courses or the Study Library, choose a course and unit, then select a document. The Study Concept opens it in the document workspace and remembers your reading progress on that device.
- 1Choose the course. This gives LYNE and the study tools the right subject context.
- 2Open the unit and document. The contents panel is generated from the document’s real headings.
- 3Continue where you stopped. Reading progress updates as you move through the page.
Understand the document workspace
The workspace keeps reading in the center and supporting tools at the edges. Both side panels can collapse, and the document automatically expands into the available space.
- Contents: search headings and jump directly to a section.
- Reading area: the source text, diagrams, examples, and section actions.
- Study panel: key ideas, personal notes, practice, and saved explanations.
Add notes, highlights, and ink
Select text to highlight an important line or attach a note. Your annotations appear under Notes in the study panel, where you can return to the exact idea later.
Open the pen tools to mark a relationship, work through a calculation, or label a blank area with a mouse or stylus. Ink and annotations are saved on the current device.
Keep highlights selective. A useful highlight captures a definition, relationship, exception, or step you will need to retrieve later—not an entire paragraph.
Use the tools attached to each section
When a section contains study-ready material, actions appear beside its heading. The available actions depend on the content.
ClarifyGet a simpler explanation while keeping the section’s actual terms and meaning.
PracticeAnswer questions generated for that section and save your reasoning on the device.
Make cardsTurn definitions and important lines into focused Concept Cards.
SummarizePull the unit’s main purpose, learning target, and outcomes into a compact review.
Ask LYNE in context
Open LYNE while you are reading to ask about the current document or a selected passage. Try requests such as:
- “Explain the selected paragraph in simpler language.”
- “Take me to the worked example in this document.”
- “What should I remember from this section?”
- “Make a short practice check from this topic.”
Specific requests produce better help. Name the idea you are stuck on and the kind of response you need—an explanation, comparison, example, or practice question.
Turn reading into review
Select Make cards beside a useful section to create a focused review set. The Study Concept looks for definitions, examples, and concept relationships, then keeps the set connected to the document topic.
If you use NotebookLM, the document menu also provides an export prepared from the readable source content. Review the exported text before using it elsewhere.
Useful keyboard controls

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t I edit the imported source text directly?
Course documents preserve the original learning material. Use notes, highlights, ink, clarifications, and practice to work with the content without accidentally changing the source.
Where are my notes and practice answers saved?
The document currently saves reading progress, annotations, ink, and practice work on the device you used. If you change browsers or clear site data, local work may not follow you.
Why do some sections have different study actions?
The Study Concept only shows tools that fit the section. A vocabulary area may offer cards, while a worked example is more likely to offer practice or clarification.
Can I use the document workspace on a phone?
Yes. Side panels become compact mobile controls and the reading column fills the screen. For handwriting or dense diagrams, a tablet or larger display is more comfortable.
