Well, I didn’t want to give the impression that it is not possible to use CT for this step at all. But it’s not convenient. You either have to switch back and forth between the topic you are viewing and the one you’re writing in, or you need to do the writing in its Notes pane, which is like Notepad, or you need to somehow enable some other editor in its browser pane.

Again, CT can already work as a reverse outliner, but you can’t view another topic at the same time.

So let me repeat the question:
