Writing & formatting

The editor is a clean rich-text surface with a toolbar on top. Select text to style it, or use the keyboard and Markdown-style shortcuts below to format without leaving the keys.

Text formatting

From the toolbar (or the standard shortcuts):

Bold (Ctrl/⌘ B), italic (Ctrl/⌘ I), underline (Ctrl/⌘ U), strikethrough.
Headings for structure — three levels.
Bulleted and numbered lists, blockquotes.
Links (Ctrl/⌘ K or the toolbar): select text, paste the URL.

Markdown habits work as you type: # + space starts a heading, - + space a bullet list, 1. a numbered list, > a quote, and triple backticks (```) a code block.

Tables

Click Insert table in the toolbar.
Click into cells to type; Tab moves to the next cell.
With the cursor in a table, toolbar controls appear to add a row below, add a column right, or delete the table.

Images

Get an image into a doc three ways:

Click Insert image in the toolbar and pick a file.
Drag an image file from your desktop onto the page — it lands where you drop it.
Paste an image from the clipboard (screenshots included).

Once placed, click the image to select it:

Resize by dragging a corner handle — proportions are preserved.
Align left, center, or right with the contextual toolbar buttons, and Reset size to return to natural dimensions.
Alt text can be edited from the same toolbar — set it so exported files and screen readers describe the image.
Move the image by dragging it to a new spot in the document.

Images are stored with the document and follow its sharing — only people who can read the doc can see its images.

Code blocks

Type ``` on a blank line (or paste code) to get a monospaced code block — handy for config snippets, commands, and stack traces.

Undo and history

Ctrl/⌘ Z undoes your own recent edits — even in a shared session, undo reverses your changes, not your teammates’.
