Documentation editor
Using the documentation editor
To open the documentation editor:
- Click the Documentation icon in the left menu.

Writing and editing
The documentation editor behaves like any familiar document text editor (such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or Notion). You can type anywhere, select text, copy and paste, and add rich content blocks that include information about your design system.

In additional to the standard rich text formatting options, you can also change the type of text block, easily click to switch between header types, and add links.

You can also change the type of text block using the Convert to... menu option.

Blocks
A block is any kind of content you add to the page, such as text, lists, quotes, dividers, or media. You can move blocks around on the page to reorder your information.

Preventing overwritten content with more than one editor
If you have multiple people working on your documentation (or you happen to have the same page open in two tabs), you might worry about content being overwritten as it's being autosaved.
If the page you're on has been edited elsewhere as you're working, Supernova will automatically reload the page to get the latest version, preserving any new content that's been added or changed.

Our documentation editor prevents editing collisions by reloading the latest version of the page.
