### AI Editing in Shared Collaborative Documents

When you are editing a shared document in collaboration mode, the right-pane chat sees and edits the active document the same way it does in Files mode. Edits route through Yjs, so other connected users see them stream in live. The familiar accept/reject bar appears for pending AI edits, just like in single-user editing.

You don't need to do anything special to turn this on — open a shared document, ask the agent to edit it, and the changes flow into the document for everyone in the session.

### Anchor Links to Headings

Clicking a Markdown anchor link like `[Section](#section)` in a Lexical document scrolls the document to the matching heading.

### Export to PDF

Markdown documents export to PDF with the document title and an outline generated from your headings. Exported files are bookmarked at each heading and the title shows up in PDF readers.

### Undo/Redo Stack

Nimbalyst enables you to undo and redo your edits

* Cmd+Z to Undo
