Refine a note in the timeline and use commands for formatting.
Step by step
- Click the text of an editable note in the timeline.
- Change the text directly in the inline editor.
- Type a slash to open formatting commands and choose the action you need.
- Confirm with Save. Cancel discards the open edits.
What to expect
The updated note stays in its place in the timeline. There is no need to create another note.
Good to know
If saving fails, the draft stays open with an error message. Check that message before continuing. Editing is unavailable in read-only workspaces.
