title: Ask for edits
description: Use the writing agent to draft, revise, and update documentation from natural-language instructions.
---

Use the writing agent when you know the docs outcome you want, but you want
Radiant to make the content changes for you.

Open the dashboard editor and click **Writing agent**. Describe the change in
plain language, then send the request.

## Good requests

Be specific about the page, audience, and outcome.

```txt
Rewrite the Quickstart intro so it feels more confident and less tentative.
Keep the page short and preserve the existing steps.
```

```txt
Add a short section to the Navigation page explaining when to use groups versus
single pages. Use a practical example.
```

```txt
Review the Images and Videos page for unclear wording. Improve the prose without
changing the examples.
```

## What the agent can change

The writing agent can edit docs files in the current draft, including MDX pages,
`docs.json`, and referenced assets when the requested change requires them.

It uses the existing docs structure as context, follows Radiant MDX rules, and
runs docs validation before returning changes.

<Callout type="tip" title="Ask for the result, not the implementation">
You can say what you want readers to understand. The agent can decide which docs
files need to change.
</Callout>

## Keep requests focused

Focused requests are easier to review. For large documentation projects, ask the
agent to update one page or one workflow at a time.
