### What Are Docs?

Docs in Scrintal are structured containers built from multiple blocks. They allow you to:

* Consolidate related thoughts
* Build coherent content from smaller pieces
* Link and organize ideas for research, projects, and writing

***

### Creating Docs

You can create docs in several ways:

#### Option 1: From Toolbar

* Go to the toolbar at the bottom of your screen
* Click "**Create New Doc**"
* Place the new doc on your board

#### Option 2: Keyboard Shortcut

* Press "**D**" on your keyboard
* Place the new doc on your board

#### Option 3: Combine Blocks

If you've already written ideas in separate blocks:

* Select stacked blocks from the "**Click and Drag**" tool
* Click "**Create Doc**" button
* These blocks will be merged into one doc

### Editing and Structuring

Inside a doc, you can:

* Add new blocks
* Rearrange content
* Format text with styling tools

Use docs as your space to dive deeper, write longer form content, or finalize structured information.

### Linking and Navigation

Use Scrintal's linking tools to:

* Connect one doc to another
* Reference related information
* Jump between concepts without losing context

### Pro Tips

* Use docs to finalize the content you began organizing with blocks
* Reuse docs by dragging them into new boards
* Link docs to create knowledge graphs

Docs are powerful tools for taking your ideas from brainstorms to polished outputs. Start using them to keep your work organized and impactful!
