In Pensiv you can select multiple documents and
choose how to view that selection. The point of this is not to organize documents.
It’s to think in groups, and switch between structure and flow to judge.
① What multi-select means
When you select several documents, Pensiv treats it as:- “I want to see these as one group”
- “I want to check structure or flow across them”
- “I want to read / review / edit them as a continuous piece”
it’s choosing a unit of thought.
② Grid view: see the selected group at a glance
After multi-selecting documents, choose Grid view andthe selected documents appear as cards on one screen. In grid view you can quickly see:
- Which documents are selected
- For each document:
- Title
- Status (draft / done, etc.)
- Summary
- Progress
the view for what structure this group has.
③ Multi-document view: read the selection as one flow
After multi-select, choose Document view andthe selected documents are shown as one continuous document. In this view you can:
- Read several documents in one continuous flow
- Check flow between chapters, scene transitions, and paragraph rhythm
- Review the full text from a reader’s perspective
the view for how these documents read in sequence.
④ Grid view vs. multi-document view
| Grid view | Multi-document view | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Structure | Flow |
| Purpose | Layout and organization | Reading and review |
| Perspective | Designer | Reader / editor |
| Question | ”What is where?" | "How does it connect?” |
⑤ Summary

- A tool to switch between structure and flow by changing the view.
The moment you select multiple documents,Try selecting several documents.
Pensiv switches from writing mode to composing mode.

a different way of looking.
