[ 01 ] How it works

From a blank page to a published one

  1. 01

    Pick a space

    A team, a topic or a project. Start it empty or from a starter (team, knowledge base, project) that lays out its first pages.

  2. 02

    Start the page

    Blank, or from one of 18 built-in templates or your own. Type / for any block.

  3. 03

    Write; it saves itself

    Your draft saves as you go and stays yours. Readers keep seeing the published version.

  4. 04

    Publish

    Readers see it; watchers are told; the version goes into the page history, which keeps the newest 50.

[ 02 ] The editor

The blocks documentation needs

  • Slash commands

    Headings, bulleted, numbered and check lists, tables, quotes, dividers and code blocks, from one menu.

  • Panels and expandable sections

    Info, note, success, warning and error panels for what must not be missed; collapsible sections for what can wait.

  • Table of contents, status and date

    A contents block that follows the headings, coloured status labels and dates inside the text.

  • @mentions

    Name a colleague on the page and they are told, by email and in the app.

  • Links to pages, tasks and leads

    Link another page, a Varynt Work task or a Varynt Desk lead; the chip shows its live status.

  • Images and files

    On the page they belong to, up to 25 MB each, kept in Knowledge's own storage and checked against your access on every download.

[ 03 ] Structure

Pages people can find their way around

  • Unlimited spaces and nested pages

    As deep as the subject needs. Move a page, with everything under it, to another place or another space.

  • Copy a page or a whole branch

    Duplicate a page, with or without the pages under it, as the start of the next one.

  • Readable addresses

    Every page has a readable address, and links keep working after a rename or a move.

  • Templates of your own

    Save any page as a template for your workspace, filed by category beside the built-in ones.

  • My space

    A private space for every person, for drafts and notes nobody else can see.

  • Stars, favourites and recent

    Star the spaces you live in, favourite pages, and pick up where you left off from recently viewed.

  • Archive and trash

    Archive what is finished without deleting it. Deleted pages wait 30 days in the trash before they are gone.

[ 05 ] Questions

Asked before buying

Can two people edit a page at the same time?
Not live in the same editor: there is no real-time co-editing. You see who else has the page open in the editor, and a save made on top of somebody else's newer change is refused with a message, never silently overwriting it.
Is the content locked into a format?
No. Pages are stored as Markdown with a few extensions, and any page exports to Word or Markdown.
Is there an app for phones?
There is no native app; Knowledge runs in the browser, phones included.
