In your notes

The group In your notes in Settings → ICAP Learning Agent controls what ICAP shows while you read and write.

Setting What it does Default Platform
Selection mark Shows explain and check my words next to selected text. on both
Veil the note during recall Blurs the rest of the note while you answer from memory. on both
ICAP style Uses ICAP’s ink and ICAP’s look for kept output. on both
Interactive visuals When the agent can add a visual to a reply or a new note. When it helps both

When you select text, the mark shows next to it. Select explain to get an explanation. Select check my words to check the understanding that you wrote.

If you turn it off, use the commands and the editor menu in its place. The mark shows only in Live Preview and Source mode.

During a recall, you write what you remember of a section. With this setting on, the plugin blurs the rest of the note while you write, so you cannot read the answer. One key lifts the veil. Read Explain from memory.

  • On: ICAP’s ink is a warm madder colour. Kept explanations and kept feedback use ICAP’s look.
  • Off: the ink is your theme’s accent colour. Kept explanations and kept feedback use your theme’s callouts.

The setting changes only the look. The Markdown in the note is the same.

A visual is a chart, a diagram or an exercise that you can try. It runs in a sandbox, with no network access.

Option What the agent does
When it helps It adds a visual only when you understand better by trying it than by reading.
Only when I ask It adds a visual only when you ask for a visual, a diagram, a chart or a simulation.
Never It does not add visuals.

A visual can be in a reply to a request or in a note that the agent makes. It is never in an explanation, in feedback or in a question. A change that the agent proposes to an existing note cannot add a visual.
