Working with Docs
1. What does a Doc include?
A doc on a board (or your desk) has a title, content, and a link section, and it can be shown in three different layouts on a board.
Compact - a minimized and folded doc, showing only its title.
Snippet - a doc with a set height, showing part of its content.
Full - a full sized doc, which will grow with its content.
The link section, showing what the doc links to as well as what links to the doc, can be toggled on or off using the "Toggle Links Section" button.
2. How do I create a Doc?
There are several ways to create docs;
You can click the "Create doc" button on the Docs browse page.
You can use the "Create New Doc" button in the board toolbar to create and place a new doc on your board. The same thing can be done by pressing the D button.
You can click the "All blocks" button, locate the "New Doc" block, and place it on your board.
