The editor shared by the personal dashboard and Teams
Both the personal dashboard and the team dashboard reuse the same base editor, with permission, audience, and save behavior changes depending on context.
This web editor is a central piece of the product. It is used to create and edit snippets, notes, and links from the cloud with a much wider interface than the extension popup.
The same base is also used in Teams. What changes there is the permissions mode: some users see the editor in read-only mode, an audience selector by department appears, and the save button can switch to a review-oriented behavior.
Side explorer and internal navigation
The editor includes a side explorer with a tree organized by type and category. From there you can search documents, expand Snippets, Free Notes, and Links, open existing items, and create new ones without leaving the editing flow.
That makes the editor more than just a writing window: it is also a way to browse the entire vault while keeping the current document context.
What fields the editor handles by item type
| Item | Visible fields | Useful note |
|---|---|---|
| Snippet | Title, shortcut, folder, body, variants, and variant mode. | This is the most complete mode and the one that benefits the most from macros and formatting. |
| Note | Title, folder, and rich body. | It shares almost all of the snippet visual editing, except the shortcut-specific logic. |
| Link | Name, URL, and folder. | In the shared editor the link flow is more about metadata than rich body content. |
| Teams | It can also show audience by department. | When showAudienceSelector is active, the selector appears for Whole company or a specific area. |
Tools offered by the editing toolbar
- Undo, redo, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and letter case toggle.
- Paragraph, headings, font, lists, alignment, links, text color, and highlight.
- Insert image by URL, tables, code block, and inline code.
- Quick emoji picker, auto-linkify for URLs, find and replace, and typewriter mode.
- Switch to HTML source mode with CodeMirror to edit the markup directly.
- Visual word and character status, recent save state, and active mode.
Variants, macros, and dynamic variables
In snippets, the editor lets you work with a base A variant and additional variants. In the web version, adding new variants is blocked for Free users and, when the plan allows it, there is a visible cap of 8 variants with random or sequential mode.
Macros are shown visually as chips inside the editor and then saved as real text. The variables menu mixes system data, variables detected by the extension, personal macros, and company-wide variables.
It also includes a Macro Builder to insert patterns such as {{input:...}}, {{dropdown:...}}, and relative dates without forcing you to write the syntax manually every time.
Autosave, manual save, and restricted mode
The editor has autosave with an approximate wait of 1.5 seconds after the last change, in addition to manual save. This applies to the main content as well as variants and metadata such as folder, URL, shortcut, or audience.
In Teams the same editor can enter readOnly for certain roles when reviewing existing content. It can also customize the save wording, for example to send changes for review instead of publishing them directly.
