Write documents together

Create documents in teamspaces, nest them, edit with other people at the same time, and use the editor's blocks, mentions and comments.

Documents is where your team writes: notes, plans, specifications, meeting minutes. Several people can edit the same document at once and see each other's changes as they happen.

Teamspaces and documents

Documents live in teamspaces. A teamspace has members, and it can be private. The navigator shows every teamspace you belong to, with its documents under it. Teamspaces at the top of the navigator lists them all in a table.

Create a document

Open Documents and select Create document.
Check the teamspace at the top of the dialog.
To put the new document under another one, change No parent document to that document.
Type a title in place of Untitled and select Create.

The document opens. Click below the title and start typing.

To add a teamspace, open the menu on the Create document button and select Create teamspace. In a workspace that has no teamspace yet, Create teamspace is the only choice.

Organize documents

Nest: point at a document in the navigator and select the + beside it. A new document is created beneath it and opens.
Lock: point at a document in the navigator, select More actions (the three dots), then Lock. A locked document shows Locked and cannot be edited until someone selects Unlock.
Label: add labels in the sidebar of an open document.
Share the address: use Copy document URL to clipboard in the document's header. The link opens the document for anyone who has access to its teamspace.

Write

Select any text to see the formatting toolbar: bold, italic, strikethrough, underline, highlight, links, lists, quotes and code.

Type / on an empty line to insert a block:

Block	What you get
Image	A picture from your device.
Table	A table. Add or delete rows and columns, and merge or split cells, from the table's own menu.
Code block	Text kept in a fixed-width font, for code or commands.
Separator line	A horizontal rule.
Action item list	A checklist. See below.
Drawing board	A space to sketch.
Diagram	A diagram written as Mermaid text and drawn for you.

Mention people and link work

Type @ and start a name to mention a person, or the title of an issue or document to link it. The person you mention gets a notification in their Inbox.

Assign an action item

A line in an Action item list can be given to a person. It then appears in that person's Planner, and checking it off in one place checks it off in the other.

Comment on a passage

Select the text you want to discuss and choose Comment in the toolbar. The discussion stays attached to that passage.

Find your way inside a document

Table of contents: headings you write become a table of contents beside the text. Select a heading to jump to it.
Backlinks: the Backlinks button in the header opens a panel of the places that mention this document.

Good to know

There is no Save button. Changes are saved as you type.
If Tridge shows Cannot connect to collaboration service, the document has lost its connection. Reload the page before you write more, and see Troubleshooting if it happens again.
Documents are found by search: press Ctrl+K (⌘+K on macOS) and type part of the title or the text.
