What Magnetbrief does and does not do
Magnetbrief creates short guides, checklists, workbooks and course companions. You enter a topic and optional notes, approve the outline, then it drafts sections you can edit or rewrite. You choose a brand color, cover style and logo, and can publish a hosted opt-in page. It does not offer free-form drag-and-drop design like Canva.
