The editor

The page editor is designed to stay out of your way. You type like you would anywhere, and when you need something richer than a paragraph, one keystroke — / — brings up everything you can add. This page is a tour of those building blocks.

Every page is made of blocks stacked top to bottom. A block can be a paragraph, a heading, a list item, a table, a code block, an image, and so on. Type / anywhere to open the insert menu and choose a block, or keep typing to filter the list.

BlockWhat it’s for
ParagraphOrdinary body text — just start typing.
Heading 1–5Section titles. Headings also become the page’s outline.
Bulleted listAn unordered list of points.
Numbered listAn ordered, step-by-step list.
Task listA checklist with tickable checkboxes — great for to-dos inside a doc.
QuoteA highlighted block quote for callouts or citations.
TableA grid of cells you can type into.

For anything technical, you have two options:

  • Inline code for a snippet in the middle of a sentence.
  • Code blocks for multi-line code, kept in a monospaced, formatted box.
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"
  • Type : to open the emoji picker and drop an emoji inline.
  • Type @ to mention a teammate. They’ll be notified, and the mention links to their profile — handy for “ask @Maria to review this section.” Mentions work in page content and in comments.

Drag a file straight onto the page, paste an image from your clipboard, or use the insert menu. Images render inline, and other files (PDFs, documents, and more) embed as attachments you can preview or download. BridgeApp automatically generates optimized sizes so pages stay fast to load. For more on how files are handled across the product, see Files & attachments.
