Ask a grounded questionRun a chat query that returns citations linking back to exact passages in your sources.Create and manage projectsCreate, switch, rename, and delete projects so each research effort has its own workspace.Find research in a projectSearch across project sources, notes, chats, and maps to recover useful material.Generate a knowledge mapCreate a visual map of claims, concepts, sources, and questions from project material.Import Markdown notesBring existing Markdown notes into Atlas while preserving useful structure.Read the semantic mapUse the semantic map to inspect clusters, nearby ideas, and project-level themes.Sign in and reset your passwordAccess your Atlas account and recover access if you cannot sign in.Troubleshoot source processingFix common upload, extraction, OCR, transcript, and indexing problems.Use tabs and split viewOpen multiple research surfaces side by side without losing context.Edit and export a knowledge mapRefine a generated map, save changes, and export a shareable image.Import a PDF into AtlasUpload a PDF, wait for processing, and confirm it is ready for search, maps, and chat.Manage billingOpen billing settings, update payment details, and manage your subscription.Synthesize across multiple sourcesAsk Atlas to compare and combine evidence from several sources in one cited answer.Troubleshoot citations and weak answersImprove weak answers, missing citations, and off-topic retrieval.Use summaries to triage sourcesUse source summaries to decide what to read, map, or ask about next.Add a website sourceSave a web page into an Atlas project so it can be searched, cited, and mapped.Delete your accountRequest or complete account deletion and understand what data is removed.Follow citations back to sourceOpen citation chips, inspect the supporting passage, and decide whether the answer is trustworthy.Troubleshoot billing and limitsResolve common billing, subscription, and quota problems.Add a YouTube sourceImport a YouTube transcript into Atlas and use timestamped citations in research chat.Troubleshoot mobile and browser issuesFix layout, shortcut, browser, and mobile problems in Atlas.Use mentions in chat and notesUse @mentions to scope chat or connect notes and sources without breaking flow.Search and add academic papersFind academic papers by topic, DOI, arXiv ID, or title and add the useful ones to a project.Use web searchUse web search when the answer needs current or outside information beyond project sources.Add files to chatAttach files and images to chat when the question needs extra context outside existing project sources.Read PDFsUse the PDF viewer to move through pages, open citation targets, and inspect source text.
