I might be missing something, but once I add a property then wish to delete the entire property table - it doesnt seem to delete.

Looks good. I just had to do a quick custom css to remove the "Properties" header and the "Add property" label. I don't need to see those more than twice to get the point.

PhD Students – How to convert your rough notes into a paper draft in 1 hour? Let’s first quickly understand the concept of rough notes. As a PhD student, you often read papers and make notes. Sometimes, you extract data from the papers you read. You record this data in an excel sheet. Irrespective of how you record your notes or data, you can convert it into a paper draft. More interesting, you can do this automatically. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭? ➟ Difficult to comprehend your notes/data ➟ The notes are scattered in different places ➟ Need to synthesize a broader idea from your notes ➟ Need to write paper based on data noted 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭? 1. Go to and log in. 2. Open a blank document to start. 3. Click on 𝑊𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 on the right menu. 4. Click on 𝑢𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑/𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑐ℎ button to upload your rough notes. 5. Use either pre-defined prompts or write your own. 6. For example, use the prompt – 𝐷𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤. 7. Paperpal will convert your notes a first draft of literature review. 8. Unlike ChatGPT, it will include real references your notes have. 9. You can give follow up instruction to modify the output. 10. For example, you can instruct – 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑒. 11. Paperpal will provide a concise alternative. 12. You can continue writing using the following options. ➝ Keep Writing ➝ Expand on ➝ Write a counter argument ➝ Write a transition sentence ➝ Write an impact statement 13. You can either accept or discard the generated text. Following this process will generate a paper draft for you. However, it is important to note that it is only a draft. You need to put your own human insight into it to polish it. You also need to carefully cross check the outputs. Please note this tutorial and tool is to facilitate you. It does not intend or even can replace you as a researcher. Try the Write 2.0 feature of Paperpal. Here is the link: Use code – FAHPP30 to get 30% off on Paperpal Prime. Anything you'd like to add?
