Docs / Editing docs

Editing docs

Select a doc in the Library to open it. The editor has three view modes, switchable from the top-right of the editor bar:

  • Preview — rendered markdown (read-friendly).
  • Split — source and preview side by side.
  • Source — the raw markdown editor.

Saving

Edits autosave about a second after you stop typing. You can also save explicitly with ⌘S. The frontmatter strip above the editor shows a dot — amber for Unsaved changes, accent for Saved. Every save also creates a version snapshot (see Version history).

Frontmatter

The strip above the document surfaces the doc's status, type, and tags from its YAML frontmatter. Change the type from the dropdown there and Bedrock writes it back into the file. Tags and status are read from the frontmatter you write at the top of the file:

---
title: My plan
type: plans
status: active
tags: [backend, milestone-2]
---

Auto-pairing and shortcuts

The source editor pairs brackets and quotes as you type, like a code editor:

  • Type [[] with the cursor inside; type [ again → [[]] for a wikilink.
  • (, {, ", ', and ` pair the same way.
  • Select text and press a bracket/quote to wrap the selection.
  • Backspace on an empty pair deletes both characters.

Wikilink autocomplete

Type [[ and start a document name — a dropdown suggests matching docs in your workspace. Press Enter or Tab to insert; the closing ]] is already there. See Links and graph for how links resolve.

Editor font size

Adjust the source editor's text size in Settings → Appearance → Editor font size (Small, Default, Large, Extra large).
