Creating Docs

Working with Docs in Scrintal

In this guide, we'll introduce you to docs, one of the core tools that help you store and organize information in your library.

Watch the learning center video about Docs.

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!
