- Description: Select, edit, comment, and run Actions directly on any text, no more rounds of back-and-forth.
- Author: Samuel ROY

Hey everyone,

This week we're changing how you refine what the AI writes.

Inline Edition is here: select any part of a text and act on it directly — edit it, comment on it, or run an Action — without going back into the chat.

**🎶** [**Sacha Funke - MZ 25**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A%5FoQC0D-rM&ref=list.alterhq.com) **🎶**

**How it works**

1. Interact in Alter in the Hub or QuickHub.
2. Select the part you want to change , a small menu appears with multiple options or click on `...` to see your inline Alter Action

Selecting text in Quick hub or the Hub displays the Inline Editor

**Custom Actions in the editor**  
Any Alter Action can now run directly on a selection. Enable it once in the Tools Manager and it's available everywhere you select text in Alter.

Any Alter Action can be shown in the Inline Editor

**Why it matters**  
Working with AI output used to be binary: accept the answer, or restart a conversation to say what to change. Inline Edition removes that round trip. You treat output like a working document — select, edit, comment — the same way you would a draft written by a human. Crystal clear, even for people who don't live in the AI world.

Cheers,  
Sam & Olivier
