Create, open & recent

Start a blank page, seed a formatted manuscript, or reopen something you were working on.

Create a document

1. On Home, click Blank for an empty document, or Manuscript for a Shunn-format template with a title block and running header already set up.
2. GLASS opens the new document in Draft Mode, ready to type.

You can also press Ctrl+N / ⌘N at any time to create a blank document.

Open an existing file

1. Choose File ▸ Open (Ctrl+O / ⌘O).
2. Pick a .glass file. It opens in Draft Mode.

To reopen recent work, click any card in the Recent Documents grid on Home. Hover a card and click the ✕ to remove it from the list (this never deletes the file).
