Editing Files

Opening a file

Double-click any file chip in the hierarchy to open it. You can also click ⋮ on any file chip in the hierarchy or the Unlinked pane and choose View/Edit.

The editor

The editor opens as a panel that slides in from the right. It is split into two panes:

  • Left — a plain text editor with markdown syntax highlighting
  • Right — a live rendered preview that updates as you type

Saving

Press Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac) to save. The file title in the hierarchy updates automatically if you change the # H1 heading.

Unsaved changes are indicated by a dot in the editor toolbar.

Renaming from the editor

Double-click the filename in the editor toolbar to rename the file inline. The file on disk is renamed to match.

Closing the editor

Click the ✕ button in the top right corner of the editor panel, or press Escape.

Project notes

The project's project.md file can also be opened for editing via ⋮ → Info on the project chip. This file does not appear in the hierarchy and cannot be renamed.
