Pictures, files and tables
Add a picture or a file to any page. Put a small table of words right in your writing.
Add a picture or a file
- Press / and pick Picture or file. On a phone, it opens the phone's photos and files.
- Paste a picture or a file.
- Drop files on the page.
It becomes a block of its own, or goes in the block you are in when that block is empty. A block holds one picture or file; another goes in a block of its own. One ⌘Z takes it away again. A picture is tagged #image and any other file #file.
How they show
A picture or file shows above its block's words, and the words are its caption.
- A picture: click it to see it large.
- A PDF: in a reader that scrolls its pages.
- A video or a sound: in its player.
- Text, Markdown, CSV and code: as text.
- Anything else, such as a spreadsheet: a card with its icon, name and size. Click it to save it.
While a file goes up, it says “Waiting to upload”. If it can't, it says “Upload failed” with Try again.
A File field
A field can hold files. Add a field with the Type File. See Fields. Click its value and pick Upload a file…: the file stays in the field, as an entity tagged #file, and adds nothing to the page. One ⌘Z takes it away.
Covers and icons
A page can have an icon and a cover. See A page's icon and cover.
Tables in a page
Press / and pick Table for a small table of words, right where you are writing.
- + Row and + Column add to its ends.
- ··· opens its menu: Add row below, Add column to the right, Delete this row, Delete this column and Delete table.
For a table with field Types, sorting and filters, use a tag and its Table view.
