What do the icons in the draft box do?
Updated 19 October 2026
The Short Answer
Left to right: 👍 Good draft and 👎 Bad draft rate it, Copy copies it, ↺ Start Again writes it afresh, ▾ Rewrite makes it Shorter, Warmer or More Direct (1 credit, 2 on a Reply), Add Link adds a link, and Continue in Chat opens a chat to refine it. Send's arrow holds Schedule…, which sets a reminder and sends nothing.
Which icons you see depends on who wrote the words: words you type with Write Myself get Copy and nothing else.
What does each icon do?
They sit in one row inside the box, under the words. Hover any of them for its name.
| Icon | What it does |
|---|---|
| 👍 Good draft | Marks the draft as a good one |
| 👎 Bad draft | Marks it as a bad one |
| Copy | Copies the words as they are now, your edits included. It turns into a green tick and says Copied |
| ↺ Start Again | Writes the draft again from the start |
| ▾ Rewrite | Opens Shorter, Warmer and More Direct |
| Add Link | Adds a link at the end of the message |
| Continue in Chat | Opens a new chat to work on the draft with PropKaki |
Why can't I see all of them?
Which icons show depends on the message:
- Words you type with Write Myself get Copy and nothing else.
- A template from Use Template, or a draft you typed yourself and open again, gets Copy and Start Again. On a template, Start Again is greyed.
- The thumbs show only on words PropKaki wrote.
- Continue in Chat shows only when the message is to one named person.
- Copy and Continue in Chat are greyed while the box is empty, and Start Again and Rewrite while PropKaki is writing.
A Customised Message to a group has no shared box, so none of them appear. Each person's row has its own Redraft and Skip instead.
What happens when I press a thumb?
A thumb stays pressed. Press it again to take your rating back, or press the other thumb to switch. Only one can be pressed at a time.
A rating costs nothing and uses no credit. It does not change the words in the box.
The thumbs belong to the words they rated. After a Rewrite or Start Again the box holds new words, and both thumbs clear so you can rate those.
What do Start Again and Rewrite do, and what do they cost?
- Press the ▾ beside the ↺ — its name is Rewrite.
- Choose Shorter, Warmer or More Direct.
PropKaki writes the message again from the same facts, in that style. The ↺ spins while it works, and the new words replace everything in the box, including changes you typed. Make small edits after a rewrite, not before. Each rewrite costs what the draft did — 1 credit, or 2 on a Reply or a Give Instructions draft — whether the message is for one person or a whole group.
The ↺ itself is Start Again: it writes the draft afresh, as Auto Draft did, at the same price. Over a saved draft it first asks Keep This Draft?. Changing a word yourself costs nothing.
What do Add Link and Continue in Chat do?
Add Link opens Add a Link. Paste the address and press Add Link. It goes at the end of the message on its own See more: line. Add a second link and it replaces the first. No credit is used.
Continue in Chat opens a new chat with the person tagged and your draft already in the box, after a line that starts help me refine this message. Add what you want changed and send it there. Nothing is asked until you do.
