What it does

Summarize creates a summary of your selected text so you get a quick overview. The summary is inserted at the end of the text, and you can specify how many words it should have.

Where to find it

Word ▸ Logiks Copilot tab ▸ Task ▸ Analyze ▸ Summarize

How to use it

  1. Select the text you want summarized.
  2. Open the Analyze menu and click Summarize.
  3. Optionally enter a target word count. The summary is added at the end of the selection.

Tips

  • Specify a word count to keep summaries consistent (e.g. always 100 words for an abstract).
  • Use Explain instead when you need reasoning and definitions, not just a recap.
