Workspace

Workspace

Organize documents, folders, shared assumptions, search, and archive.

The workspace is local-first: documents, folders, ordering, settings, and source text are saved in the current browser or desktop application data store.

Documents and folders

Use New for a blank document, a production starter, or a single-level folder. Documents can be renamed, moved, archived, backed up, or deleted from their overflow menu. Folders can carry shared variables used by every document inside them.

  • Autosave is debounced while you type.
  • Folders render before top-level documents and do not nest.
  • Moving a document does not make an unrelated content edit.
  • Collapsed folders, manual order, and archived state persist locally.

Organize at speed

Unlock reordering from the sidebar header before dragging. Drop on a folder header to place a document at the top, use insertion lines for an exact position, or drop into the workspace slot to move it back to the top level.

Use Cmd/Ctrl + Click to toggle multiple documents and Shift + Click for a range inside the same container. The bulk bar can move or archive the selection. Dragging one selected row moves the complete selection while preserving its order.

Shared variables

Open a folder menu and choose Shared Variables for assumptions reused across its documents. Names must follow letters_or_underscores form and be unique within the folder. Document assignments win when the same name is defined locally.

// Folder shared variable
tax_rate = 22%

// A document in that folder
take_home = gross_income - tax_rate of gross_income

Shared variables appear in autocomplete and participate as upstream leaves in Dependency Glow.

Search and archive

Press Cmd/Ctrl + K or choose Quick search. Prefix matches rank first, followed by substring and fuzzy subsequence matches. Empty search shows recent documents. Active and archived folders and documents are searchable; choosing an archived result opens it in archive context.

Archiving a folder archives its current documents. Restoring the folder restores those documents. If a document's old folder no longer exists, restoring the document returns it to the top-level workspace.
