What it does
Summarize creates a summary of your selected text so you get a quick overview. The summary is inserted at the end of the text, and you can specify how many words it should have.
Where to find it
Word ▸ Logiks Copilot tab ▸ Task ▸ Analyze ▸ Summarize
How to use it
- Select the text you want summarized.
- Open the Analyze menu and click Summarize.
- Optionally enter a target word count. The summary is added at the end of the selection.
Tips
- Specify a word count to keep summaries consistent (e.g. always 100 words for an abstract).
- Use Explain instead when you need reasoning and definitions, not just a recap.
