Document reflows
Turn on Document reflows in Template Settings → Generate when the document you fill is not laid out identically every time. At fill time, AI looks at the actual document, finds what each field is anchored to (a label, an underline), and repositions every field to match — even when content moved onto a later page.

Turn on Document reflows in Template Settings → Generate when the document you fill is not laid out identically every time. At fill time, AI looks at the actual document, finds what each field is anchored to (a label, an underline), and repositions every field to match — even when content moved onto a later page.
What you need
- A template that fills onto a document whose content can grow, shrink, or shift between fills
When to turn it on
Field placement is normally exact and fixed: you position a field on the canvas, and every fill stamps that exact spot. That's perfect when the underlying document never changes.
Some documents do change. A form arrives with an extra paragraph, a longer scope of work pushes the signature block down — or onto the next page — and a fixed position now points at the wrong place. That's what this toggle is for: instead of trusting the saved coordinates, each fill re-finds where every field belongs on the document in front of it.
How it works
- Open Template Settings (the gear on the template) and scroll to the Generate section.
- Check Document reflows.
- Fill as usual. During each run, AI reads the document, locates each field's anchor — typically the printed label next to it and the line it sits on — and stamps the value where that anchor actually is now.
With the toggle off, nothing changes: fields render at their saved positions and no repositioning happens.
Anchor hints
When the toggle is on, each field's write zone gains an optional Anchor hint — a plain-English note telling the AI exactly what the field is attached to:
Hints are optional — the AI usually works out the anchor from what's around the field — but naming the exact label makes placement precise on busy pages with several similar lines.
If the anchor can't be found
A field whose anchor genuinely isn't on the document (or can't be identified) is left exactly where you placed it — repositioning never guesses a random spot. Fields that couldn't be auto-placed are flagged on the run so you can check the output.
