Write and edit pages
The editor, links between pages, uploads and properties.
Pages are Markdown files. Everyone with access edits the same page at the same time, and changes save as you type.
Visual and Markdown views
Use the Visual / Markdown toggle at the top of a page to switch between the rich-text editor and the Markdown source. The shortcut is Option+Cmd+M (Ctrl+Alt+M on Windows and Linux), and it keeps your place.
The Markdown view needs a live connection. While you're offline, keep editing in the visual view.
See who else is here
People editing the page appear as avatars at the top. Click someone's avatar and choose Follow to follow their cursor; choose Stop following to stop.
