Edit document

The Hippoly Docs editor gives you a familiar set of text-editing tools. You can format text, create lists and tables, add images and links, and collaborate with others in real time.

Enter edit mode

Open the document and click the Edit button in the top toolbar. While in edit mode, you'll see an Editing label and a live save indicator that tells you when your changes have been saved.

Hippoly Docs saves your changes automatically. There's no manual save button — when the indicator shows Saved, your work is safely stored.

Format text

Select the text you want to format, then use the buttons in the toolbar at the top of the editor.

• Headings and paragraph style — use the style dropdown to switch between paragraph text and Heading 1, 2, or 3.

• Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikethrough — apply basic text styles.

• Alignment — align paragraphs left, center, or right.

• Clear formatting — remove all formatting from the selected text.

• Undo / Redo — step backwards or forwards through your recent changes.

Lists

Use the toolbar to turn the current paragraph into a bullet list or an ordered list.

Tables

1. Click the Insert table button in the toolbar.

2. When the cursor is inside a table, additional buttons appear to let you add or remove rows and columns, merge or split cells, or delete the whole table.

Images

Click the Insert image button in the toolbar, then choose an image from your device to add it inline with the document text.

Links

Links in Hippoly Docs can point to the web or to another document or file inside your workspace.

1. Select the text you want to turn into a link, then click the Insert link button in the toolbar.

2. In the link dialog, choose one of the tabs:

   • Web link — paste a URL and, optionally, the text to display.

   • File in Hippoly — pick another document or file in your workspace to link to.

3. Click Insert to add the link.

To edit or remove an existing link, click the link in the document and use the link dialog.

Real-time collaboration

When more than one person is editing the same document, you'll see their avatars in the top-right corner of the editor and their cursors where they are currently typing. Changes are synced live, so there's no need to reload or refresh.

Only people invited as Editors can make changes. Viewers can follow along, but their changes won't be saved. See Invite collaborators.
