AvailableLast reviewed 2026-10-05

Reader is a focused, read-first view for notes, documents, and presentations stored in your workspace.

What you need

  • Access to the workspace that holds the item.

Steps

  1. Open it from where you found it. On a note card, choose Read. On a document card or an assistant result card, choose Read; for a presentation, Present. In Reader's Notebook, choose Open in Reader.

    A note open in Reader with its title, author and date, and the text below

  2. Or go to Reader directly. Reader has two tabs: Home and Notebook. Check that the workspace shown is the one you expect.

  3. Use Home. Recently Viewed lists items you opened (switch between card and list view), and the reading list on the right keeps items you saved. Choose the reading-list button on an item to add or remove it.

  4. Use Notebook. Pick All Notes, a project, or a staq, select a note to preview it, then choose Open in Reader. Edit appears for notes you own.

Expected result

The item opens in Reader. Opened items appear under Recently Viewed.

Tips

  • Create and edit content in Morpheus; use Reader to read and present. See Use notes and documents.
  • Notes and documents have a share action that copies a public link.

Troubleshooting

  • Read is greyed out: Reader is not available from your environment. Contact support.
  • The item is missing: it may be in another workspace or a project you are not on. Switch workspaces and look again. See Understand workspace scoping and access.
  • Reader's search button does nothing: search is not available in Reader today. Use the Notebook sections or the Library in Morpheus.
