What's new

Footnotes and endnotes

Revise now supports footnotes and endnotes — both at once, like Word. Insert them from the Insert menu: footnotes pin to the bottom of the page they're referenced on (numbered 1, 2, 3), while endnotes gather on their own page at the end of the document (numbered i, ii, iii). Numbering stays correct automatically as you write, reorder, and delete.

When your cursor lands on a note's superscript number, a small card pops up so you can edit the note in place without scrolling away. The AI agent can insert and manage notes too — ask it to "add a footnote citing the source" and it will.

Headers, footers, and page numbers

Double-click the top or bottom margin of any page to edit its header or footer, right on the page — just like Word. Each band has three zones (left, center, right) that grow and shrink to fit what you put in them, and everything you know from body text works there: fonts, bold, colors, selection, undo.

Page numbers are now real header/footer content. Put one anywhere with Insert → Page #, or type {PAGE} and {PAGES} in the Layout → Headers & Footers dialog for formats like "Page 3 of 12". Different first-page headers are supported, and the AI agent can set all of this up for you — "put the document title in the header and page numbers bottom right" just works.

Word compatibility, seriously

This release closes the gap on the .docx features professionals rely on:

• Tracked changes: Suggestions made in Revise export as real Word tracked changes (with author and timestamp), and tracked changes in imported documents become Revise suggestions you can accept or reject. Redlines survive the round trip in both directions.
• Footnotes, endnotes, headers, and footers all import from and export to .docx faithfully — including page number fields.
• Comments (including threads and resolved state) and text in boxes are preserved through import and export, so nothing gets lost when a document passes through Revise on its way back to Word.

And a small quality-of-life note: the font menu's Load all system fonts option (added alongside the recent fonts release) means your headers, footers, and notes render in your real typefaces too — on screen and in exported PDFs.

Text colors

Text colors now survive the trip into Revise. Import a .docx or paste from Word or Google Docs, and colored text stays colored — through editing, AI revisions, and export back out to Word, HTML, or PDF.

Colors also adapt to dark mode automatically. Instead of rendering the same ink on a black page (where dark reds and blues disappear), Revise flips each color's lightness so it reads with the same emphasis in both themes — a muted color stays muted, a bold color stays bold.

Fonts

Fonts from imported documents are preserved too, and the font menu got a big upgrade. It's now a search box — click it and type to filter. Fonts used in your document sort to the top of the list, and if a font isn't available on your machine, Revise substitutes a similar one so the document still reads the way it was designed.

Best of all: click Load all system fonts at the top of the font menu, and Revise can use every font installed on your computer (in Chrome and Edge — your browser will ask for permission once). Your system fonts even get embedded into PDF exports, so the PDF you send looks exactly like the document you wrote.

We launched a free Document Converter! Drop in a PDF, Word doc, Markdown, HTML, RTF, ODT, or text file — or a photo or scan of a document — pick an output format, and your converted file downloads automatically. No account needed.

PDFs and images are read with vision AI, which rebuilds the real document structure — headings, lists, and tables survive, even from scanned PDFs and handwriting. Other formats convert instantly, right in your browser.

Every conversion also opens as a document in the Revise editor, so you can fix anything — or ask the AI agent to clean it up — before you send it, and export again in any format for free.
