Proposals & Undo

Lino AI respects your space. Instead of directly writing to your canvases or local files, it acts as a collaborator by presenting its changes for your review first.

Proposed Changes (Proposals)

When you ask the AI to modify something (e.g., "Create a card about photosynthesis," "Link these two cards," or "Edit this block of text"), it generates a Proposal:

• Non-destructive: A proposal has no side effects and does not change your database or file system immediately.
• Visual Diff: For text or file edits, Lino AI presents a red/green line diff showing exactly what will be added or deleted.

Checkbox Bundles

To save your time, multiple proposals from a single chat turn (such as creating three cards and linking them together) are combined into a single Bundle:

• Granular Control: You can check or uncheck individual items in the list.
• Dependency Awareness: If you uncheck a card creation proposal, any connection proposals that rely on that card will automatically be disabled.
• Apply: Once you are satisfied with the items in the bundle, click Apply to write all checked changes to your workspace in a single, atomic operation.

Inbox Landing

When you accept an AI proposal that creates new objects (cards, sketches, tables, or sparks), they do not scatter randomly on your canvas. Instead:

• They animate directly into your Inbox Stack (located in the bottom-left corner).
• You can then drag them out onto the infinite canvas whenever and wherever you choose.
• Existing objects modified by the AI (such as text edits or connections between existing cards) are updated instantly.

Dynamic Relationship Previews

When Lino AI proposes complex relationships or structures, a dynamic, interactive force-directed graph tile is rendered in your chat window. This lets you preview the topological network of your new connections before clicking Apply.

Conversation-wide Undo

If you apply a bundle and change your mind:

• A Turn Undo Bar will appear at the bottom of the chat panel.
• Click Undo to instantly roll back all canvas and file modifications made in that conversational turn.
• The rollback is completely safe: if you manually modified any of those objects after applying the AI suggestions, Lino will pause and ask how you want to proceed rather than overwriting your manual work.
