The Lekty'Book editor

Write in a chapter (autosave)

You write right on the page, and everything saves on its own (up to 3 tries if the network acts up). The chapter outline and the buttons at the bottom of the page take you from one chapter to the next.

1. From your Lekty'Book, click “Edit →” next to the chapter.
2. Write on the page: the indicator shows “Saving…” and then “Saved”.
3. If there's a network issue (“Not saved: check your connection”), click “Try again”.
4. To switch chapters, open the “Chapter outline” icon in the sidebar and click a chapter under “Lekty'Book chapters”, or use “Previous chapter” / “Next chapter” at the bottom of the page.
5. In a long chapter, the “Back to top” arrow at the bottom right takes you back to the start.

Demo talking point: there's never a “Save” button to hunt for, and you don't lose a single line.

Go to the previous or next chapterNew

At the bottom of every chapter, two buttons take you to the chapter before or after, showing its number and title. Your chapter is saved before you leave. If saving fails, you stay on the page so you don't lose anything.

1. Scroll all the way to the bottom of your chapter.
2. Click “Previous chapter” or “Next chapter”: the chapter's number and title appear underneath.
3. While you're switching, the button shows “Saving…”.
4. In the middle, “Add a chapter” creates a new chapter and opens it.

If you see the message “Your chapter couldn't be saved, so we're staying here so you don't lose anything.”, check your connection and try again.

The badge that shows you what's in progressNew

During every upload or generation, an animated badge appears at the bottom of the screen to tell you what's happening, even when the drawer is closed. If it takes a while, it adds “Getting there, just a moment longer.”

1. Start an upload or a generation: an image, a file, a photo (OCR), an AI quiz, a narration or “Tidy my page”.
2. The badge appears at the bottom of the screen, for example “Uploading your image…”, “Uploading your file…”, “Reading your photo…”, “Preparing your quiz…”, “Preparing your narration…” or “Tidying up your page…”.
3. Keep working: the badge disappears on its own when it's done.

Start with a chapter templateNew

14 free templates, sorted by theme (Business & expertise, Fiction & youth, Practical life, Body, mind & knowledge), build a complete chapter with quizzes, flashcards and reveals. Everything stays editable.

1. Open an empty chapter: the “How do you want to start?” screen appears.
2. Click “Blank page · I'm starting from scratch”, or a template (e.g. “Business course”, “Recipes”, “Coaching workbook”, “Learn a language”).
3. In a chapter you've already started, click “Templates” at the top, next to “Preview”.
4. Choose “Add to the end” or “Replace content”.

Perfect for demos: a lively chapter in one click, then you customize it right in front of the person.

Format your text

Headings from level 1 to level 6, a searchable font library, pixel-precise sizing, alignment, lists, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, links, colors, gradient text and highlighter.

1. In the top bar, use “Paragraph style” (headings), “Font” (with “Search for a font…”), text size and “Alignment”.
2. “Bulleted list” and “Numbered list” create lists.
3. Select a word or a sentence: the floating menu offers “Bold (⌘B)”, “Italic (⌘I)”, “Underline (⌘U)”, “Strikethrough”, “Link”, “Superscript”, “Subscript”.
4. Click “Text color”: pick from the color palette, from “My brand colors” (your saved colors) or from “Gradients”.
5. Click “Highlight” to choose the “Highlighter color” and its “Highlighter opacity”.

“My brand colors” keeps your brand colors: one click on “Save current color to my brand colors” and they follow you everywhere. The screen eyedropper works on Chrome and Edge, not on Safari or Firefox.

Insert a block

Three ways to add any block wherever your cursor is: the “Blocks” drawers, the ⌘K keyboard palette, or the “/” menu. A ghost preview shows you where the block will land.

1. Open the “Blocks” icon: blocks are sorted into groups (“Media”, “Text & teaching”, “Interactions”, “Structure”), with the search field “Search for a block… (quiz, columns, table)”.
2. Or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows): the “Which block do you want to create?” palette opens. Type the name, then press Enter.
3. Or type “/” in the text: a menu offers headings, lists, quiz, image, columns, table, callout boxes…
4. Look for the “→ will be inserted here” preview and confirm.

The sidebar can sit on the left or the right (“Move sidebar to the right”), whichever feels more comfortable.

Lay out your pages: columns, grids and tables

You build real pages: sections with 1 to 4 columns, grids with 4, 6 or 8 cells, Word-style tables with colors and resizable columns. If you're writing a novel, you can skip sections entirely.

1. Open “Blocks”, “Structure” group.
2. Choose “1 column”, “2 columns”, “3 columns”, “4 columns”, or a grid (“4-cell grid”, “6-cell grid”, “8-cell grid”).
3. For a table, click "Table", hover over the grid to pick rows × columns, then click.
4. To change a section's layout, use the "Columns" button in the toolbar. "⬚ Dissolve section" keeps the blocks on the page.
5. Select the table to set "Headers", "Header background" and "Header text" in the block settings.

Move, duplicate and delete blocks

You rearrange your page with the mouse: a drag handle with a snapping line, drops into empty columns, or the move up, move down, duplicate and delete buttons. The "Rail" shows the chapter's structure.

1. Hover over a block: a "Drag to move the block" handle appears on its left.
2. Drag it: a snapping line shows where the block will land, even inside an empty column.
3. Or click the handle for "Move to top", "Move up", "Move down", "Move to bottom", "Duplicate this block" or "Delete this block".
4. Open the "Rail" icon to see the chapter outline and "Drag to reorder".

Learning callouts, quotes and dividersNew

Blocks to structure knowledge: "Definition", "Key takeaway", "Warning", "Example", "Tip" or custom-title callouts; quotes in 3 styles, with your choice of quote mark color and text color; styled dividers; code block. Every block can be customized (background, gradient, opacity, color, thickness, font).

1. Open "Blocks", "Text & learning" group, and click "Learning callout" or "Quote".
2. Select the block: its settings open in "Selected block settings".
3. For a callout, pick its type, or "Custom" for your own title (e.g. Ingredients), then the "Callout color".
4. For a quote, pick "Vertical bar", "Quote marks" or "Box". Set the color ("Quote mark color" in the Quote marks style), the "Text color" and, for Bar or Box, the "Thickness".
5. For a divider or code, type "/" then "Divider" (solid, dotted, dashed, double) or "Code".

Ribbons, stickers and emojis

The decorative touch that makes a Lekty'Book unique: section ribbons (banner, label, washi, bunting), recolorable Lektify stickers organized by theme, and a full emoji set with flags.

1. For a ribbon, open "Blocks", "Interactions" group, and click "Ribbon" (or "/" then "Section ribbon").
2. Pick its style, "Ribbon", "Label", "Washi" or "Bunting", and its color.
3. For a sticker, type "/" then "Sticker", or click "Insert a Lektify sticker" in the top bar: browse "Lektify Signature", "Lektify Kawaii (colorful)", the recolorable line art or the "XXL Emojis".
4. Resize the sticker with the ↘ handle and change its "Sticker color".
5. For an emoji in your text, use "Insert an emoji" and its search (heart, rocket, flag…).

You won't find the "Lektify Signature" stickers anywhere else: a real selling point for creators of workbooks and children's content.

Add an image with framesNew

You can dress up an image with 5 frames (Polaroid, Tape, Rounded, Iridescent edge, Medallion), plus a shape, cropping, width, opacity and a customizable caption. Two images side by side in a column section share the same format when the shape is set to "Auto".

1. Place your cursor where you want the image.
2. Open "Blocks" and click "Image" (or "/" then "Image").
3. Choose your file (JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP, 4 MB max): the "Uploading your image…" badge shows up at the bottom.
4. Select the image to set "Frame", "Frame shape" ("Auto", "Square", "Landscape", "Portrait", "Wide"), "Width" and "Opacity".
5. Double-click the image to crop it (zoom, position), then click "Done".
6. Write a caption in "A caption under the image…" and set its font, size and color.

In a section with 2 or more columns, leave "Frame shape" on "Auto": your images line up in the same format, both for you and for the reader. A format you pick yourself is always kept.

Embed a video

You can embed a YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion video, with adjustable width and frame. Video file uploads aren't supported.

1. Open "Blocks" and click "Video".
2. Paste the link into "YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion URL…".
3. Click "Insert video" (or press Enter).
4. Click the video once for its settings (width, frame, caption), double-click to play it.

Link preview and downloadable file

A link card that builds itself (title, image, description), and a downloadable file (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, text, MP3, M4A, ZIP or image, 25 MB max) available only to readers who have access to the Lekty'Book.

1. Open "Blocks", "Media" group.
2. Click "Link preview", paste the address, then "Insert card".
3. Or click "Downloadable file" and choose your file.
4. Select the card to adjust the "Card title", the description and the "Accent color".

The file is protected: only people with access can download it, through a signed link.

Reveal, flashcard and before/after

Blocks that get the reader involved: hidden content to reveal, a two-sided card to flip, and an image comparison (slider, 3D card, fade or side by side).

1. Open "Blocks", "Interactions" group.
2. "Reveal": write the hidden content and change the "Button label" ("Reveal ✨" by default).
3. "Flashcard": fill in "Front: the question" and "Back: the answer", then set "Front background" and "Back background".
4. "Before / After": add both images and pick the "Reader style" (Slider, 3D card, Fade, Side by side).

Answer field and live checklist

Your Lekty'Book becomes a workbook: the reader writes their answer or checks boxes, and Lektify remembers everything for them.

1. Open "Blocks", "Interactions" group.
2. Click "Answer field": the reader writes, and their answer stays private.
3. In its settings, set the "Answer area" to "Short", "Medium" or "Long".
4. Or click "Live checklist": the reader checks boxes, Lektify remembers.

Coaching selling point: the reader's exercises and reflections live inside the Lekty'Book, not on a loose sheet of paper.

Create a quiz by handNew

Four question types: one correct answer, multiple correct answers, true or false, or reflection with no right answer (self-assessment, not scored). Up to 8 answers per question, as text or images, with an explanation shown after answering.

1. Open « Blocks », « Media » family, and click « Quiz ».
2. Pick the « Question type »: « One right answer », « Several right answers », « True or false » or « Reflection, no right answer ».
3. Write your question in « Your question », then your answers. « + Add an answer » adds a choice.
4. Mark the right answer or answers (button in front of the answer) and fill in the « Explanation ».
5. For a picture quiz, click « Picture answers ». « Add an image to the question » is for language quizzes (« What is this? »).
6. « Add a question » adds the next one. « Duplicate » and « Delete question » manage each question.

Each question shows « Ready » or « Incomplete », so you can't forget a right answer.

Picture quiz: upload or pick from the image libraryNew

A question can have picture answers: the reader clicks the right image. Each empty slot gives you three sources: your images, a library of royalty-free photos, or soon AI. The grid balances itself (2 images side by side, 3 images in 3 columns, 4 images in a 2 × 2 grid).

1. In a question (except « True or false »), click « Picture answers ».
2. In an empty slot, click « Upload ». The tooltip reminds you: « Square or 4:3 image, 800 px wide is plenty. 4 MB max: Lektify shrinks it for you (about 100 KB) so your Lekty'Book stays fast. »
3. Or click « Image library »: the « What should the image show? » search is already filled in with your answer's name. Click « Search », then the photo you want (« See more photos » shows more).
4. « Create with AI · coming soon » isn't available yet.
5. Under each image, write a « Short caption » and mark the right answer.
6. Uncheck « Show captions to the reader » when the caption would give away the answer (language vocabulary, for example).

Library photos come from Pexels. They're royalty-free and you can use them even in a paid Lekty'Book. The image you pick is copied and shrunk into your Lekty'Book. To go back to written answers, click « Text answers ».

Sounds and pronunciation in a language quizNew

For learning a language: a sound on the question and under each answer, recorded with your mic, uploaded as a file, or spoken by a synthetic voice.

1. In a quiz, under « Question sound » or an answer, click « Record » (10 seconds max), then click again to stop.
2. Or click « File » to upload an MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG or WebM (2 MB max).

4. Pick the language and voice, and check « Also speak the questions » if you want.
5. Click « Speak for N tokens ». The price shows before you click.

2. Open « Selected block settings » in the sidebar, or click « Block settings » at the top of the quiz.
3. In « Where the reader answers », pick « In the page » or « In the right sidebar ».
4. Set the « Width » and the « Frame ».

Generate a quiz with AINew

AI reads your chapter and creates a quiz. First you pick the quiz type (« Questions », « Picture quiz », « Flip cards » or « Reflection »), then its settings. You review it before inserting, and you can still edit everything.

1. Write your chapter's content first: a chapter that's too short can't generate a quiz.
2. Open the « AI tools » icon in the sidebar. The three tools show up with their prices. Click « AI quiz » to open it.
3. In « Quiz type », pick « Questions ».
4. Set the number of « Questions »: use the − and + buttons, the small arrow that opens a 1 to 10 grid, or type your number in the box (up to 30).
5. In « Answers », pick « Mix », « One right answer », « Several right answers » or « True or false », then set « Explanations » to « Yes » or « No ».
6. Click « Generate an AI quiz ». The price is shown on the button.
7. Review the suggested quiz, then click « Insert quiz ».

The drawer remembers the last tool you opened. An animated badge at the bottom of the screen shows the generation is running, even if you close the drawer.

Generate a picture quizNew

The reader answers by clicking the right image. AI writes the questions and each image's name. Then you add the images your way.

1. Open « AI tools », then « AI quiz ».
2. In « Quiz type », pick « Picture quiz ».
3. Set the number of « Questions », the « Images per question » (2, 3, 4 or 6), the « Captions » (« Visible » or « Hidden ») and the « Explanations ».
4. Click « Generate an AI quiz », review it, then click « Insert quiz ».
5. In the inserted quiz, each empty slot offers « Upload », « Image library » or « Create with AI · coming soon ». Add an image to each answer.

Hidden captions: perfect for learning vocabulary, since the word doesn't give away the answer. The grid always stays balanced: 3 images in a row, 4 images in a 2 × 2 grid.

Generate flip cardsNew

AI pulls the key ideas from your chapter and creates two-sided cards: the reader reads the front, thinks, then flips the card.

1. Open « AI tools », then « AI quiz ».
2. In « Quiz type », pick « Flip cards ».
3. Set the number of « Cards », then the « Front »: « Question » or « Keyword ».
4. Click « Generate cards », review the front and back of each card, then click « Insert cards ».
5. The cards land one after another in your chapter. You can change their colors in « Selected block settings ».

3. Set the number of "Questions" and the "Focus": "Introspection" or "Taking action".

1. Open the "AI tools" icon in the sidebar, then click "Tidy my page".
2. Check the estimated price shown on the button, then click "Tidy my page".

1. "Undo (⌘Z)" and "Redo (⇧⌘Z)" take you back or forward.
2. "Find & replace" opens search: type the word, then click "Replace" or "Replace all".

Three styles: Solid, Cream or Framed (a title, a sentence and the button). With a Creator or Business plan, the button can also lead to another website.
