How to Use the Article Editor in AmICited

A tour of the AmICited Article Editor — the writing canvas, formatting toolbar, live word count, GEO score, article outline, search-appearance preview and setup panel — for refining a generated draft before you publish.

2 min read · High priority

Once AmICited generates a draft, it opens in the Article Editor — a full writing workspace where you refine the piece, watch its GEO score, and get it ready to publish. Everything you need to polish an article lives on one screen.

The AmICited Article Editor with its toolbar, body, outline and GEO score

Tip
The draft is a starting point, not a finished page. Editing for accuracy, voice and your own expertise is what turns a good GEO score into content that genuinely earns citations.

Where to find it

The editor opens automatically after you generate an article, or when you open any article from the Articles library. The header shows the title, a +TAG control, a Saved indicator (your edits autosave) and a Share button.

The main areas

  • The canvas (center) — the article itself, fully editable.
  • The formatting toolbar (top) — undo/redo, headings (H1–H3), bold, italic, lists and more, with a live word count.
  • Article Setup (left panel) — the prompts, language and content type this draft was generated from.
  • Search appearance (top of the canvas) — a live preview of how the page’s title and meta description will look in search.
  • GEO Score (right) — the AI-readability gauge, plus quick Words / Status / Type tiles.
  • Article Outline (right) — a clickable map of every heading for fast navigation.

A refining workflow

  1. Read it through for accuracy and tone — fix anything the AI got wrong or generic.
  2. Tighten structure with the toolbar: clear headings, short sections, lists where they help.
  3. Watch the GEO Score respond as you edit, and address weak spots.
  4. Check the Search appearance preview and adjust the meta description.
  5. Publish, then track whether your targeted prompts start citing the page.

Each of these panels has its own guide in this section if you want the detail.
