A document that fits your thinking
Combine headings, checklists, tables, columns and collapsible sections. Add code, formulas, images and attachments without breaking the flow.
From a sentence to a next step
Select text to create a task with an assignee and due date. Keep a task reference in the page and a link back to the original document.
Knowledge with a place and a history
Organise nested pages, inspect incoming and outgoing references and revisit saved revisions. Restore pages from the trash and export your writing as Markdown or print.
Inside the workspace
Explore the details
Choose a block that makes the explanation clearer
Type / in an empty paragraph to insert headings, lists, a Task List, Toggle List, Blockquote or Code Block. Use Table of Contents to give a long page a visible route, and collapse supporting detail while keeping it close to the main explanation. The text-selection toolbar adds inline formatting, code and Latex formulas. Keep a checklist inside the page for a small review, or turn selected action text into a tracked issue when it needs its own record.
Document editor → empty paragraph → /; selected text → formatting toolbarFind the exact passage and change it in context
Select a document on the canvas and open Search and replace. Enter a literal phrase in Find text, inspect the match counter and use Next or Previous to read each occurrence in context. Add the new wording in Replace with, test Replace on one match and use Replace all when the remaining occurrences should change together. Close the panel to clear the highlights. In focus view, Find a document instead searches the document library by title and available page content.
Canvas → select document → Search and replaceConnect the source, the passage and the action
Use Link page beside the title to reference a project page or a specific heading, and Link issue to connect existing work by title or issue key. Links and references brings outgoing destinations, incoming Referenced by entries and the On this page outline together. Incoming links are derived from page contents available in the current project library. Copy page link or Copy link to heading gives a reader a precise destination within their existing project access.
Document title → Link page / Link issue; Focus mode → Document tools → Links and referencesCompare local saved versions before restoring
In the offline document experience, Version history lets you choose a saved baseline under From and compare it with Current page or another revision. Review added and removed text, title changes and page-detail notices before choosing Restore this version. Confirm restore applies the baseline while preserving the current saved page in recent history. The selector shows device-local versions, bounded to 50 per page within a shared 1 MB history budget; live pages currently show no saved versions here.
Focus mode → Document tools → Version historyChoose a portable text or a readable handout
Copy Markdown takes headings, lists, code and tables into a text editor, while Print / PDF opens a print-ready page through the browser’s print workflow. Inspect the pasted text or page preview before sharing the result. In an offline deployment, Files and export also packages page details and local attachment versions with Export copy; Import copy creates a new page. Those portable bundles keep comment threads and history with the original, so choose the copy that fits the next use.
Focus mode → Copy Markdown / Print / PDF; Document tools → Files and exportCompare options with tables and parallel explanations
Insert Table from the slash menu for a three-by-three starting grid, then use its row and column edge menus to add or remove structure. Put labels in the first row and keep comparable facts under the same criterion. Columns places related explanations side by side with Two columns, Sidebar left or Sidebar right layouts. Separately, Page width offers Narrow, Normal and Wide reading surfaces so a comparison table and its surrounding narrative remain comfortable to read.
Document editor → / → Table / Columns; document toolbar → Page widthKeep local review questions beside their context
Select a passage and choose Comment to anchor a question, or use Page comments for feedback about the whole document. Threads support replies, a Resolved switch and Open, Resolved or All filters with counts. Show in page returns to an existing text anchor so you can inspect the evidence before resolving the thread. These comments are saved on this device in the current project, giving your local review notes a clear place alongside the writing.
Selected document text → Comment; Focus mode → Document tools → Page commentsTurn a written action into a linked issue
Select the action text and choose Create issue from selection. The form prefills Issue title and offers Assignee and Due date before Create and link issue. The resulting Task uses the project’s default workflow status and keeps a source-page link in its description; the document gains an issue reference in return. Follow that reference to check the saved task. Task records follow the browser-local project boundary, while the document reference stays part of the page’s content.
