Troubleshooting

Palette doesn't appear

• Make sure you're in a text area (not the title field)
• Type / alone, not followed by other characters
• Refresh the page if the issue persists

Command doesn't insert content

• Some commands require additional input (like /link which needs a URL)
• Follow the on-screen prompts after insertion
