Using the Editor

The Editor is the core writing surface in the product. It opens when you create or select a document inside a project. It provides a live Markdown editing experience with real-time collaboration.

Opening the editor

Navigate to a project, then click on an existing document or create a new one. The editor opens in the main area with the document content ready to edit.

The editor interface

The editor is built on CodeMirror, providing a familiar code-editing experience. You type Markdown on the left and see a live preview on the right (depending on your view settings). The toolbar at the top provides quick access to common formatting actions.

Writing and formatting

You write in Markdown, a lightweight markup language. As you type, the editor provides syntax syntax highlighting and live rendering. Use the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts to format text, insert links, create lists, and more.

Real-time collaboration

When multiple people open the same document, their changes appear in real time. You can see who else is currently viewing or editing the document. Collaboration is powered by Yjs, which synchronizes changes across all connected users.

The editor supports multiple open documents as tabs. You can switch between tabs, close them, and reorder them. Each tab represents a separate document (node) within the project.

View and editing options

Use the editor options controls to switch between reading, editing, and source modes. For details, see Views and editing mode.

Saving

Changes are saved automatically as you type. There is no manual save button, your work is continuously persisted.
