Documents in Studio: briefs, scripts and notes

Studio includes a block-based document editor for writing a piece's brief, script or notes. You can use it inside a piece or as a standalone project document.

Where documents live

• Inside a piece: open the Doc tab. If the piece doesn't have one, add it with Add in the tab bar. It's the place for that post's script or brief.
• As a standalone document: in the project's Folders view, right-click an empty space (press and hold on touch screens) and choose New document. Use it for documents that aren't tied to a date, like a style guide or the month's plan. More in project folders.

Writing with blocks

Every paragraph, heading or list is a block. To insert one:

1. Type / at the start of a line.
2. Pick the block, or keep typing to filter:
   • Text
   • Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3
   • Bulleted list, Numbered list, To-do list
   • Toggle
   • Callout
   • Quote
   • Divider
   • Table
   • Image from library and Video from library
3. Press Enter to insert it.

Images and videos come from the project library. You can add a caption, Replace the file or Remove block.

To reorder, drag the block by its handle or use Move up and Move down.

Formatting

Select text and use the toolbar that appears: Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Code, Highlight and Link.

You can also type markdown and the editor converts it as you go:

• #, ## or ### plus a space: heading.
• - or * plus a space: bulleted list.
• 1. plus a space: numbered list.
• > plus a space: quote.
• ---: divider.
• **text**, *text*, ~~text~~ and `text`: bold, italic, strikethrough and code.

Saving

Documents save on their own shortly after you stop typing. The status shows at the top: Saving…, Saved at … or Unsaved changes. If you need to save right now, press Save now.

If the connection drops, Studio retries the save. If someone saves another version while you're typing, you'll see "This document changed somewhere else" and can choose between Load the other version and Overwrite with mine.

Sharing a document

People who get the piece through a public link see the document read-only. For someone to edit it, add them to the project as an editor (see inviting your team).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to save documents?

No. They save on their own within a few seconds. Save now forces a save if you need it.

What's the difference between the Doc tab and a standalone document?

The Doc tab is attached to one specific piece on the calendar. A standalone document lives in Folders and has no date.

Can I put images in a document?

Yes, from the project library with the Image from library block. The same goes for videos.

Can a guest edit the document?

Not with a public link: they see it read-only. To edit, they have to be an editor on the project.
