Add Headings, Lists and Tables
- Type / in the document to open the block menu.
- Choose the block you want.
- Enter your text in the new block.
| Block | What It Adds |
|---|---|
| Text | A paragraph |
| Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 | A section heading |
| Bullet list | A list with bullets |
| Numbered list | A list with numbers |
| Checklist | Items you can check off |
| Quote | A quote block |

Select text to open its formatting menu. You can apply bold, italic, underline, strikethrough or highlighting, and add a link.
Edit a Table
Click inside a table to use its table controls. Add rows or columns as needed, drag a column boundary to resize it, or toggle the header row.
A table in a Doc contains the text you enter. To work with posts and their live statuses, create a Content table.
Edit Together and Check Saving
People with editing access can write in the same Doc at the same time. Their cursors show their names and colors.
Changes save automatically. Check the status above the document: Saving means changes are still being sent; Saved means they have been saved. You do not need to press a save button for the document body.
Handle a Connection Drop
Read the message above the document before continuing.
| Message | What to Do |
|---|---|
| Reconnecting | Your edits are being kept on this device while Maeve reconnects. |
| Offline. Changes stay on this device and sync when you reconnect. | You can continue writing. Reconnect to sync those changes. |
| Offline protection unavailable | Online editing can continue, but do not rely on local storage to keep offline changes. |
| Offline without local protection | Wait for the connection to return. The document is read-only. |
Offline protection depends on the browser being able to store the document locally. A storage restriction or failure can make it unavailable. Check the message shown rather than assuming that every browser session supports it.
If the Document Becomes Unavailable
Your workspace role and the page's access settings determine whether you can write. Losing access to the page or its private folder stops the document session. If Maeve says you no longer have access, ask the person managing the page or folder to check its settings.
If the message is Document unavailable and a retry control is shown, use it to try loading the document again.
Rename or Favorite a Doc
Use the pencil beside the page title to rename it, then save the new name. Click the star to add or remove the page from your favorites.
Managers and Editors can write in Docs they can access. Other workspace roles can read accessible Docs, with the editing toolbar hidden.
Questions
What is a doc for?
Use a Doc for written briefs, meeting notes and reference material.
How do I add a heading or a list?
Type / in the document and choose a heading or list from the block menu.
Can I put a table in a doc?
Yes. Choose a 2-column or 3-column table from the slash menu. You can then add rows or columns, resize columns and toggle the header row.
Do I need to save?
The document body saves automatically. Check for Saved above the document before relying on your changes being synced.
Can two people write at once?
Yes. People with editing access can write together and see each other's named cursors.
What happens if I lose connection?
Check the connection message. With offline protection, edits stay on the device and sync when you reconnect. Without it, the offline document becomes read-only.
Why did my doc go read-only?
Your role may not allow editing, access may have changed, or you may be offline without local protection. Check the message above the document.
What if somebody removes my access while I am writing?
The document session stops and tells you that you no longer have access. Ask the person managing the page or folder to check its access settings.
Who can edit a doc?
Managers and Editors who can access the page. Other workspace roles can read accessible Docs.
