Create or Add a Document

There are two ways to create any document in a project (a text document, blog post draft, or checklist):

  • Create a document draft in your private Documents folder where no one can see it while you're working on it, except for people you explicitly share it with. When the document is ready, you can copy or move it to the project, making it publicly available.

    For further instructions, see My Documents

  • Create a document right from a project. In this case the document becomes public the moment you create it, and everyone with the viewing permission determined by the project settings will be able to see the contents of the document while you are working on it.

Create a text document in a project

  1. Navigate to your project.

  2. On the project sidebar, choose Documents.

  3. On your project's Documents page, navigate to the Folders tab and open the folder where you want your new document located:

  4. In the top right corner, click New and choose Text document:

  5. Specify the document title. Your document is created!

    Now you can add some content to it using the built-in editors: Rich Text or Markdown.

  6. Add and edit you document contents. Learn how to edit your document in different modes, add images and graphs, configure grammar correction and autocomplete.

  7. You work is automatically saved as you type. You can leave the page at anytime and access it later to continue working on it.

    You can also view the history of changes and roll back to an earlier version.
