NOS user guide

Create your first document

A workspace is where your documents live. There are two kinds of document, and you start both from the top-left of the sidebar.

+ Note

A document you write yourself: meeting notes, memos, how-tos.

+ HTML

A page made by AI or from an .html file: reports, slides, dashboards.

You can also type a name on a workspace home card and press Enter to create a document there.

Every new workspace comes with a Getting started with NOS document. Edit it freely to practise, and delete it when you are done.

Write a Note

A Note is made of small blocks such as paragraphs, headings and images.

1. Type in the body and press Enter for a new line.
2. On an empty line, type / to pick a heading, checklist, table, toggle and more.
3. Select text to change bold, colour or links from the formatting menu.
4. Paste an image or drag a file in. Select it to change its size.
5. Type [[ and a document name to link another document. The link follows the document even if it is renamed.

Move blocks or place them side by side

Hover to the left of a block and drag the six-dot handle. Drop it on a line to reorder, or on the left or right edge of another block to place them side by side.

Changes save automatically. If you see a save error, copy what you typed before closing or reloading the tab.

Add and edit HTML

1. Press + HTML and paste the answer from ChatGPT or Claude as it is (Ctrl+V). Only the HTML is kept.
2. Have an .html file? Click Add HTML file or drop it on the page. It replaces the content of the open document.
3. Not sure what to make? Pick an AI recipe, enter a topic and paste the AI answer back, or start from a gallery piece.

View

Use the finished page. Buttons and links work.

Edit

Click any text on the page and change it in place.

Code

Edit the HTML source directly.

Press Tab to switch between View and Edit.

For safety, some external connections and components are blocked. Imported HTML may not behave exactly like the original site.

Organize documents

• Documents inside documents: use + Add a sub-document on a home card, or drag a document onto another one in the sidebar. Use parents like folders.
• ⋯ menu: hover a document in the sidebar and open ⋯ to rename, favorite, move, duplicate, copy its link or open it in a new tab.
• Delete: deleted documents go to the Trash for 7 days. Press Undo right away, or restore them from the Trash.

Find documents again

1. Press the magnifier at the top-left, or Ctrl+K anywhere.
2. Search matches titles and body text. Narrow it to Note or HTML if you need to.
3. Press the star at the top-right of a document, or Add to favorites in its sidebar ⋯ menu, to keep it under Favorites.

Recently updated in the sidebar lists documents edited lately.

Share with a link

Press Share at the top-right of a document and create a link.

Private

Only people with access to this workspace can see it. This is the default.

Anyone with the link

Anyone who has the link can read it without signing in. They cannot edit it, and search engines do not list it.

The free plan keeps up to 3 share links open at once. Turn one off to make another. Inviting members to edit together is part of the Team plan.

Do not share documents with personal data, customer data or passwords. Documents that collect visitor passwords and send them elsewhere cannot be shared.

When you are stuck

You can reopen this guide from ⋯ → User guide at the top-right.
