Organizing your knowledge

A handful of pages is easy. A few hundred is where good organization pays off. BridgeApp gives you a simple, powerful way to keep knowledge tidy: pages nest into a tree, breadcrumbs keep you oriented, and search finds anything even when you don’t remember exactly where you put it.

The page tree

Section titled “The page tree”

Pages live in a nested hierarchy shown in the sidebar. Any page can contain child pages, which can contain their own children, and so on. Expand and collapse branches to focus on the part you’re working in.

To organize:

  • Create a child page from a page’s + control in the sidebar.
  • Move a page by dragging it onto a new parent. Its children come along with it.
  • Reorder siblings by dragging them up or down.

A worked example

Section titled “A worked example”

A company handbook might look like this:

Company Handbook
├─ Policies
│  ├─ Remote Work
│  └─ Time Off
└─ Onboarding
   ├─ Engineering Setup
   └─ First Week Checklist

Each level is just a page. “Policies” holds an intro and links down to “Remote Work” and “Time Off”; you could turn any branch into its own little book.

Section titled “Breadcrumbs keep you oriented”

At the top of every page, a breadcrumb shows the full path back to the root — for example, Company Handbook › Policies › Remote Work. Click any step to jump up a level. No matter how deep you are, you always know where you are.

Section titled “Finding pages with search”

You won’t always remember the tree. That’s fine — search is built to find pages two ways at once:

  • By keyword. Classic text matching: type “remote work” and find the page that contains those words.
  • By meaning. Search also understands intent, so a query like “rules for working from home” can surface the “Remote Work” policy even if those exact words aren’t on the page.

You don’t choose between them — both work together in the same search box.
