Learn how to effectively navigate and organize pages, subpages, and docs in Productive for more efficient document management.

Updated over 2 months ago

Navigating through pages, subpages, and docs is crucial for keeping your docs well-organized in Productive. Let's see how these elements fit together.

1. Docs vs. Pages vs. Subpages

  • Docs: Docs are the primary containers for your content, and they usually consist of multiple pages. They can exist on their own or as part of a project, giving you more flexibility in how you organize your work. You can add multiple documents to a single project for easier management.

  • Pages: Pages help you organize content into main sections within a doc.

  • Subpages: Subpages go under pages, offering further organization or details within specific topics.

To add a page to a doc, simply click on the plus sign next to the doc title. Similarly, to add a subpage, click on the plus sign next to the page name.

As you add pages and subpages, a hierarchy forms, and dropdown menus appear, allowing you to collapse or expand sections for better organization.

Pro Tip: To add a page or subpage on the same level without creating a new subpage deeper in the hierarchy, use the three-dot menu and select "Duplicate page".

2. Organizing with Index Pages

  • Add Index pages to your docs to act as a table of contents. Hyperlink individual pages to allow users to jump directly to the relevant content without having to scroll through the entire doc.

3. Page Organization with Emojis and Covers

  • Using emojis and covers in page titles adds visual clarity, making it easier to distinguish between different sections.

  • They improve overall organization and readability, especially in docs with multiple pages and subpages.

4. Adding Pages and Docs as Favorites

  • If you favorite a page or a doc, you can keep it in your favorites sidebar for easy access.

  • Tip: If you need another layer of organization, create a folder for your pages and docs in the favorites.
