Generate Draft with Project Files

Learn how to generate a new draft with uploaded project files, and how to customize your draft preferences.

There are 2 different ways to start your first draft:

Option A: Start New Section Modal

When you open a Not Started section, a modal will appear in the bottom-right corner with three options:

    • Generate First Draft (recommended) → Scout uses your project files to create a strong starting draft.
    • Write From Scratch → Close the modal and start from a blank canvas.
    • Customize Draft → Adjust preferences before generating.

 

Note: you can now use these options to trigger the first draft generation.

Option B: Writing Tools

In the Generate Draft wirht-side drawer, you can refine how Scout generates content:

    • Files → Upload additional relevant project files (if not uploaded before).
    • Customize → Add a specific focus for the section, or choose only relevant documents for this draft.

 

When you’re ready, just click in Generate Draft.

Upload Project Files and Customize Preferences (Optional)

In the Generate Draft right-side drawer, you can refine how Scout generates content:

    • Files → Upload additional relevant project files (if not uploaded before).
    • Customize → Add a specific focus for the section, or choose only relevant documents for this draft.

 

When you’re ready, just click in Generate Draft.

Project Files Tips

You can upload Project Files when in “My Project”, on the Files tab, or when writing a proposal and customizing your draft. Upload only relevant, accurate files, because Scout uses these files to generate up to 90% of your first draft.

 

We recommend uploading the following:

  • Team bios and CVs
  • Technical documentation
  • Budget plans
  • Company overview

Beware of content overwriting!
