# Outline View

Ensis streamlines proposal writing by providing a structured **Outline View**, where you can generate AI-powered responses to key requirements. Follow these steps to efficiently draft your proposal.

## Step 1 - Navigate to your proposal and section

From the **My Proposals** page, open your proposal in Ensis. You will arrive at the **Outline View** in the first section. Each section in **Outline View** contains the key requirements you will address in your proposal.

## Step 2 - Generate responses to requirements

To generate individual responses:

Locate a requirement in **Outline View** that needs a response. Click **generate with AI** in the response field.  Ensis will generate a response based on your selected **Resources** (past proposals, reference materials) and the **context** extracted from the RFP.

To generate responses "in bulk":

Click **Generate All** at the top of the section to automatically generate responses for all unmet requirements in that section.

## Step 3 - Edit & refine responses

Refine text with AI by highlighting the content you want to revise and clicking **Revise**. Enter a custom prompt to guide the revision, then click **Next**. To reuse the revised text for future content generation, select the **Store this fact for future responses** checkbox.

## Open a side-by-side layout (optional)

Click the **Split Pane View** button to open a side-by-side layout. This allows you to view requirements on one side leveraging other features, such as the Resource Assistant, on the other.

#### **Why Work in Split-Pane View?**

* Easily respond to requirements while querying your library of Resources.
* Streamline editing without switching between browser tabs.
* Maintain context as you refine and finalize content.
