Placeholders
Indicate spots that need more info filled.
Placeholders can be used throughout your docs, and are especially helpful when creating templates . Placeholders let you offer guidance and instruction for members of your team, while indicating that it's to be replaced / updated upon use.
For Text
Use the shortcut
Highlight the text you want to mark as a placeholder, then click:
⌘ + Option + P on Mac,
CTRL + Alt + P on Windows.
Use the toolbar menu
- Select / highlight content that you've added to your doc
- Click "More" in the toolbar menu
- Select Placeholder from the menu options
For multimedia and @mentions
Use the /image, /file, or /video command within a doc, and don't select a file right away. This will create a placeholder that others may use.
You can also use /someone, and /link to doc commands to add prompts that remind your teammates to add links and @mentions. You can also use /date to remind your team to add a date.
Placeholders can streamline your templates, onboarding docs, and form use cases.
