Rich text editor
The editor is where documents get written. It's a rich text editor with autosave, a floating toolbar, a slash menu, drag handles, and first-class support for embedding live workspace data.
The essentials
Type anywhere — click into the page and write. The placeholder hints "Type '/' for commands, or start writing...".
Autosave — changes save automatically (roughly every couple of seconds of pause). The header shows Saving… / Saved with the last-saved time; you never lose a sentence to a forgotten Ctrl+S.
Title is separate — the title field is stored apart from the body, so don't repeat it as an H1.
Read-only mode — docs open read-only when you lack edit permission or the document is locked.
Formatting
Headings H1–H6, bold/italic/underline, strikethrough, subscript/superscript, inline
code, and links.Floating toolbar on text selection: text style, bold/italic/underline, strikethrough, code, link, highlight, and comment.
Markdown shortcuts:
#for headings,-or*for bullets,1.for numbered lists,>for quotes, backticks for code, and---for a divider.Paste rich content from other tools and formatting is preserved, including markdown conversion on paste.
Moving around
Block drag handles — grab the ⠿ handle to the left of any block to drag it elsewhere (with a drop indicator).
Outline minimap — a compact heading map on the right edge of long documents; click a dash to jump to that section, and the active section highlights as you scroll.
Search & replace — see its own page in this section.
