Frequently Asked Questions
How detailed are the generated notes compared to a summary?+
Notes preserve far more detail than a summary — closer to notes you'd take by hand, organized by topic rather than condensed into a short overview.
Can I use this for long textbooks?+
Yes, each chapter can be processed separately and combined into one notes document.
Can I edit the notes afterward?+
Yes, notes are fully editable inside EDITHLY before export.
Can I ask follow-up questions about the document instead?+
Yes — use EDITHLY's Chat with PDF tool if you'd rather ask specific questions than read structured notes.
