Hidden Gems

Here are some lesser-known but powerful features in Slite — perfect for polishing your docs and working smarter.

Create image and video galleries

You can drag and drop images and videos into your Slite doc. Once in your doc, you can resize them and/or drag to be displayed side by side in a gallery.

Use doc cards for smart cross-referencing

Using /doc card you can link to other docs in your Slite account. You can add a custom description for more context and also drag multiple doc cards side by side to display them in a gallery (again!).


Switch to full-width layout

If you hover over certain elements in your Slite doc, you can click the arrow to expand these elements to full-width. This is perfect for tables, embedded collections, or galleries.
You can also choose to use the full width of the editor for your entire document. You can find this second option in the three-dot menu in the top right of your doc (Edit layout > Make editor wider.)

Insert dates

Use /date to pick a date from the calendar and update it when timelines change.
For example, this document was created on  and last edited on .

Get teammates’ attention

While Slite is made to explore and gives your team the opportunity to browse the docs shared with them independently, in some cases there's a need to get people's attention on something you have created for them.
And in that case, you can:
  • @mention specific people or user groups in your docs
  • leave comments @mentioning them
  • open the Share model, share the doc and nudge them directly.

Toggle headers to simplify long docs

When adding headers (H1, H2, H3, H4) to your documents, you can click on the four dots next to your header and decide to keep the section collapsed. This is perfect for more optional content like FAQs, allowing you to include the information in the document without making it overwhelming.

Embed (filtered) collections

You can embed an existing collection into another document by typing /collection , then choosing Existing collection .
By using filters and setting a view as the default, you can display a part of the collection that is relevant for the document you are embedding it in.
For example, here's an embedded collection with In progress and To review projects. (Notice how it's using the full-width of the editor.)

This element (collection-block) isn't supported, or may require an update to be displayed. You can try to refresh the app.
