Geordy auto-generates structured formats for every URL you add. But auto-generated doesn't mean locked-in. You have full control over the output before it goes live.
What you can do with each format
Preview the generated output in syntax or rendered mode. Check it before going further.
Open the built-in editor and change any part of the structured output. Markdown, JSON, YAML -- all editable.
Persist your manual changes. The saved version becomes the live version served to AI systems.
Stop Geordy from overwriting your edits on the next scheduled refresh. The format stays frozen until you unpause.
Re-scan the source page and rebuild the format from scratch. Useful after content changes on your site.
When to pause auto-updates
Pausing is the right call when:
- --You manually edited a format and want to keep your version.
- --You're testing a specific structured version against an AI tool.
- --The source page is temporarily broken or being redesigned.
- --You want to lock a format during a product launch.
Scheduled refreshes skip paused formats entirely. You only use credits when a format is actively regenerated.
Typical editing workflow
1. Generate formats for a URL
Add the URL and let Geordy produce the initial output.
2. Review each format
Open the format viewer. Check structure, headings, metadata. Is the content accurate? Is the hierarchy correct?
3. Edit if needed
Fix anything that's off. Add missing context. Adjust metadata fields. This is your structured layer -- make it precise.
4. Save and optionally pause
Save your changes. If you don't want Geordy to overwrite them on the next refresh, toggle pause. Otherwise, the next scan will regenerate from the source.
Everything you edit here only affects the structured layer served from your Geordy subdomain. Your actual website remains completely unchanged.
