Quick Start

Your first five minutes

1. Create a page from Pages in the sidebar, or from your dashboard
2. Give it a title and start typing — everything auto-saves
3. Press / to open the block menu and add headings, lists, tables, or images
4. Switch between Read and Edit mode to see how the page looks when shared
5. Invite a teammate, or keep it private — sharing is always your choice
