Read a page

Open a file from the Knowledge tree. Formatted renders its Markdown; Source shows the text representation. Use Overview to jump between headings and Activity to inspect changes. Wikilinks open related pages in the vault. An unresolved link is displayed differently so you can spot a missing target. Linked or embedded content still depends on its target being available.

​
Make an edit

  1. Select Edit. If it is missing, check your vault role.
  2. Use Formatted for visual writing, or switch to Source to edit Markdown directly.
  3. Make your changes and select Save. The keyboard shortcut is Command+S on Mac or Ctrl+S on Windows and Linux.
  4. Wait until saving completes. Open Activity to inspect the new revision.
Cancel discards the working edit after any required confirmation. Switching views does not itself save. Leaving a dirty document can prompt you to keep or discard the unsaved work.

​
Formatted tools

Use the formatting toolbar or type / for block commands. Add headings, lists, task lists, tables, code, links, and supported Markdown widgets. Double-click a widget to edit it. Select text and use Command/Ctrl+K to add a link; pasting an HTTPS URL over selected text also links that selection.

​
Source tools

Source includes line numbers, syntax highlighting, wrapping, find, indentation, and Markdown autocomplete. Type [[ for page-name suggestions. Enter continues lists and quotes. Command/Ctrl+B and Command/Ctrl+I wrap a selection in bold or italic syntax. For advanced or unusual Markdown, inspect Source after editing and before saving. See Markdown support.

​
If someone saves at the same time

Your edit may become a retained competing version rather than overwriting the newer cloud text. Review it in Conflicts. Do not keep retrying an old draft as if the first save had not happened.
