Structure
Section titled “Structure”Every Page has:
- A Title (large, at the top; click to edit)

Moving a Block
Section titled “Moving a Block”Click the ⋮⋮ handle to the left of a block and drag it to the new position.
Multi-Column Layout
Section titled “Multi-Column Layout”Drag a block by its handle next to another one, and the two stand side by side as two columns. Or insert a group via / → Columns. Each column can contain any blocks; widths snap to twelfths.
Selecting and Copying Blocks
Section titled “Selecting and Copying Blocks”Copy selected blocks with ⌘C as Markdown and HTML at once: in emails and docs they arrive formatted, in text fields as Markdown. If you drag a text selection beyond the edge of a block, whole blocks are selected.
→ Multi-block selection and Rich Copy
Importing a Markdown File
Section titled “Importing a Markdown File”On an empty page, the .md button at the top (or the card in the start options) loads a Markdown file directly as page content. Into a page with content you paste Markdown via copy and paste.

Subpages rest with it: they disappear together with their parent page and come back with it. If you open such a subpage, the top reads Archived with the page ”…” with the way to the parent page.
In the Archive (sidebar under Tools) you see the archived page with the number of its subpages. From there you restore it or delete it permanently; the delete dialog says how many subpages go with it.
