Editing notes
How the editor behaves — formatting, blocks, and autosave.
Last updated
Plainwork's editor is a rich markdown surface. Everything you write is stored as markdown and synced in real time.
Autosave
Changes save automatically a moment after you stop typing. The status indicator at the top of the note shows Saving… or Saved.
Formatting
- Bubble menu: Select text to open the bubble menu (bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code).
- Markdown shortcuts: Type
#,##,-,>, etc. at the start of a line. - Block transform: Open the block handle in the left margin to convert a block to a heading, list, quote, callout, code block, or toggle.
Block kinds
- Paragraph, heading (1–4), bullet list, numbered list, checklist
- Blockquote, callout, toggle
- Code block (with language highlight)
- Horizontal rule
Undo / redo
⌘+Z / ⌘+⇧+Z. Undo history is per-note and persists while the note is open.
Focus and collaboration
When another member is editing the same note, you'll see their cursor in real time. Your changes are merged automatically.
