You can configure your agent's autonomy. Autonomy describes what the agent can do without your explicit permission and how much it can do on its own. * **Low** waits for you to ask for a change. The agent may edit after an inline directive such as `[[ add a citation ]]`, feedback on selected text, a Chat request, or a reply in a comment thread. It may also fix an obvious problem such as a typo. Otherwise, it leaves the draft alone. * **Medium** includes everything in Low. The agent may also comment on something you wrote by opening one new comment thread during a turn. It can point out an unclear sentence or ask about a missing step, but it does not edit the text unless you ask. * **High** includes everything in Medium. The agent may also propose a focused edit when it can name a specific problem, such as a repeated point, unclear reference, or broken transition. It should tighten the affected passage rather than rewrite the draft. In all three levels, every edit appears as a diff that you can accept or reject.

When you pause, you cancel the current run, clear queued messages, and block automatic and manual requests until you resume.

The document changes you already accepted remain. ## Hide proposed changes Use the bell control to hide proposal layers while the agent continues working. The pending reviews remain in the document, and you can show them again later. Hiding proposals does not accept or reject them. You cannot turn review off for edits to an existing document.
