Short answers about data storage, workspaces, and agents.
Are documents still Markdown?
Yes. Document content remains Markdown. A local desktop workspace puts .md files in the folder you choose. The online workspace stores Markdown through its service. The browser demo stores content in this browser.
Does demo content sync?
No. The demo has no account and is not connected to an online or local workspace. Clearing browser data may remove its content. See Browser demo.
Do web and desktop files sync automatically?
Not just by signing in. A local desktop folder and an online workspace are separate modes, but desktop can explicitly configure file sync to an authorized remote workspace.
Does Tano have an integrated assistant?
Yes. The Tano assistant supports personal desktop API, Codex CLI, and Claude CLI connections. In the signed-in official product you can also select models enabled by the service. Availability and quota depend on that service. The demo still simulates responses. External agents can use local files or MCP.
Do assistant proposals automatically change the document?
Pending proposals are not automatically accepted; inspect a diff or use individual suggestions. Explicit instructions to edit, create, or operate on files can execute directly. Say “Propose changes only; do not modify” for review first, and check the file change list. Be equally clear in @Agent tasks. External direct file tools use their separately granted permissions.
Are Markdown checklists the same as workspace tasks?
A Markdown - [ ] is part of the document. Independent workspace tasks have owners, dates, descriptions, and references. Create one from a selection or in planning; checklist items do not automatically turn into tasks.
Does calendar sync continue after closing the app?
No. Automatic calendar and Todo sync requires the app to be open and visible. An .ics import is a one-time snapshot. Recurring tasks also require previewing and confirming the next instance.
What if another tool edits the same document?
The desktop app compares the changed file with your editing baseline and tries to merge independent changes. If both sides change the same place, it preserves the content and asks you to resolve the conflict. It does not silently overwrite an external edit.
What if I do not receive a registration code?
Check your email address and spam folder. A code is valid for ten minutes, and you must wait at least one minute before requesting another. If email delivery has not been configured for the service, registration cannot finish. You can still try the editor in the browser demo.
Can I edit Excel or preview Word and PowerPoint?
Default system plugins preview Word and presentations read-only. Writable local desktop workbooks support limited Excel edits; web hosts without a writer stay read-only. Use Office for complex formulas and layouts. See Attachments and Office.
How does @Agent differ from an ordinary reference?
Select a configured agent with the picker and save the document or post the comment to dispatch a task. Ordinary person references and code samples do not execute. Check the inbox model, automatic-processing setting, and actual receipts in agent workflows.
