# Save a generated document to Plain

> Connect Plain with an API key in Settings → Connections to save a video's AI-generated document as a draft Plain help center article.

Connect Plain with an API key in **Settings** → **Connections** to save a video's AI-generated document as a draft article in your Plain help center.

## Create a Plain API key

1. In Plain, open **Settings** → **Machine users** and add a machine user.
2. Create an API key for it with the `helpCenter:read` and `helpCenter:edit` permissions.
3. Copy the key.

## Connect Plain

1. Open **Settings** → **Connections** and find **Plain** under **Documents**.
2. Click **Connect**, paste your API key, and click **Connect** again.
3. The Plain card shows **Connected** when Tella has checked the key.

If you see **Plain didn't accept this key**, check that you copied the whole key and that it has both permissions above. To remove access, click **Disconnect** on the Plain card.

You can also connect from the **Generated document** window: choose **Save to Plain** while disconnected and paste your key in the field that appears.

## Save a document as a draft Plain article

1. Open a video with a transcript and go to its **Ask** tab.
2. Generate a document using a suggested prompt or your own prompt.
3. In the **Generated document** window, click **Create…** and select **Save to Plain**.
4. If your key can reach more than one help center, pick one under **Choose a help center**.
5. Open the draft from the new tab or the **Saved to Plain** notification.

Tella creates a **draft**, not a published article. The video embed goes at the top, followed by a **Watch the video** link (in case Plain hides the embed) and the generated text. The first `#` or `##` heading in the document becomes the article title; if there is no such heading, the title is **Untitled**. Review and publish the draft in Plain when it is ready.

## What if my Plain key stops working?

If the key is revoked or loses its permissions, Tella asks for a new one the next time you save. Paste a new key in the field that appears, or reconnect the Plain card in **Settings** → **Connections**.
