Writing and editing
Content editor
Content Studio's content editor counts characters live against the channel's body, title and thread-part limits, and what you type is exactly what gets posted.
The problem
Rich editors hide formatting that breaks when pasted into a social network, and nobody counts characters until the post is rejected.
Content editor in Autessa Content Studio
A plain text and markdown editor with live character counters for the body, title and each thread part, a structure template to start from, and Ctrl+S saving.
No. 01Step by step
How does it work, step by step?
- 1
Start from the template
A new version opens with the channel’s structure template, so the shape of a good post is already there.
- 2
Write what gets posted
The editor is plain text and markdown on purpose: what you type is exactly what gets posted, character for character.
- 3
Watch the counters
Live counters for the body, the title and each thread part, measured against the channel’s limits.
- 4
Save on purpose
Save with the button or Ctrl+S. Leaving with unsaved changes asks first, and every save keeps the previous text in history.

Content editor: questions
Straight answers about Autessa Content Studio.
Why is the editor plain text?
So what you type is exactly what is posted. Social networks do not accept rich formatting, and hidden formatting breaks posts when they are pasted.
Does it count characters?
Yes. It counts the body, the title and each thread part against the channel’s limits as you type.
Can I write threads?
Yes. On a channel in thread mode, separate parts with a line containing only ---, and each part gets its own counter.
