  ## Open Files, Open Ecosystem

  <Note>
    **Platforms:** macOS (build 91)
  </Note>

  Your writing lives in markdown and JSON files you can open anywhere, edit anywhere, version control anywhere. No more proprietary formats.

  * **Smart context indexing.** Every section, note, and source gets indexed. Amber reads only what's relevant, not your entire 100,000-word manuscript.
  * **[Visual diffs before you commit.](/user-guides/amber-copilot)** Suggestions show exactly what will change. Green for additions, red for deletions.
  * **Accept or reject piece by piece.** Don't like one change? Reject it. Love another? Accept it.

  * **[Sources.](/user-guides/amber-copilot#using-sources-as-context)** Add past works, research documents, worldbuilding notes. Amber draws from them when helping you write.
  * **Notes.** Create notes instantly. Full markdown formatting. Quick access in chat mode.

  ### Improved

  * **Editor rewritten from scratch.** Markdown-native storage with rich text display. Better performance, better reliability.
  * **Faster responses.** Smarter context selection means less waiting.
  * **[Smoother iCloud sync.](/user-guides/storage)** Optimized for frequent changes. Your edits sync faster.
  * **[Multi-paragraph formatting preserved.](/user-guides/paragraph-formatting)** Style carries across copy-paste, import, export.

  ### Temporarily Unavailable
