Create and Edit Documents with Notes

Create and access Documents

Log in to your mailbox.org-Account launch Notes via the "Icon" (1) and either create a new document by entering a "Pad Name" (2) or open an existing document by clicking on the "Document Link" (3). You can share this link with potential collaborators at any time (Figure1).

Collaborative Editing

Basically, the editor offers you all the freedom you would expect from a text editor. In addition, everyone with access to the document can participate and edit simultaneously. Your "Input" (3) will be distinguished by color, to provide a quick overview. You can use the onboard "Chat" (4) to communicate with the other participants at any time and also access a "List of the Participants" (5) as well as their respective colors. In addition to the most common formatting options, Notes offers the following "Additional Tools" (6) (Figure 2):

  • Leave Comments
  • Print the document
  • Import & export to and from different file formats
  • Access the documents history
  • Save the current version of the document
  • Pad-Settings
  • Share or embed the document
