Hidden gems

In this doc we'll highlight some features and functionality in Slite that might not be obvious, but you definitely want to check out.


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 to be displayed side by side in a gallery.


Doc cards

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.


Full width

If you hover over certain elements in your Slite doc, you can click on the four dots and expand these elements to full-width. This is perfect for tables, embedded collections, or galleries.
In addition to this, you can also choose to use the full width of the editor for your entire document. You can find this second option if you hover over the top of your document and open the "edit layout" options.

Dates

Via /date, you can pick a date from the calendar, easily update it when timelines change, and ensure it stands out in your Slite document. For example, this document was created on .


Alerting

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,
  • or open the Share model, share the doc with them, and then nudge them on it.


Toggle headers

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 too overwhelming.


Embed (filtered) collections

You can embed an existing collection into another document by using /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 all the In progress and To review projects from our "Collection: Projects".

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