The doc sidebar includes text editing options such as page width and text size, as well as history tracking features such as versioning, which allow you to manage revisions and further customize your docs and pages.
​

📌 Enable the Full Width setting in docs for a clearer view of tables and images, ensuring better readability and layout.

Use text formatting tools (text and background color, bold, italic, code, bullet list, numbered list, quotes, code snippets, and links) to enhance the text.

📌 Docs support markdown on paste. Copy text from any tool that uses markdown and paste it into a doc and the formatting will be applied automatically.

📌 Type : followed by at least two characters to search for and insert an emoji.

Use horizontal alignment to position text left, center, or right.

📌 Vertical alignment is only available for text inside table cells: use it to position the text top, middle, or bottom.

Tables in docs have fixed column widths that can be adjusted by dragging the column edges. Adding new columns extends the table to the right rather than shrinking existing ones. If a table is wider than the page, you can scroll it horizontally.

To create multiple columns on a page:

The selected text will appear in the first column, and additional columns will be created alongside it. Add the rest of your content to each column as needed.

Hover over a column border and drag to resize columns.
​

Select a piece of text to create a task directly from the doc.
​

Selected text will automatically be converted to a task title.

AI features have been added to Productive's docs to improve document understanding and help with translating, summarizing, and creating action items from your selection.

For better document organization, access formatting functions such as checklists, headings, lists, tables, banners, and more, type "/" in the text area or select the + sign that appears in the left-hand side of your page.

Upload images and files to your doc using editor commands. Type in /image and upload the file to your doc.

📌 Keep in mind the upload limits: up to 100 MB per file and up to 4 MB per image.

To resize an uploaded image, drag its edges.

Uploaded images and files can also be previewed directly in the doc by clicking on them. From the preview, you can download the item or open it in a new tab.
​

If the file format doesn’t support previewing, the Open in new tab option will automatically download the file instead.

Insert a table of contents block to generate a clickable outline of your page so that readers can jump straight to any section instead of scrolling.

The block automatically lists the headings on the current page, using indentation to reflect their hierarchy:

Click any item to jump straight to that heading. The list keeps itself up to date as you add, rename, or remove headings.

📌 If a page has no headings, the table of contents block stays empty until you add some.

Select a piece of text to leave a comment or mention your teammates (@theirname). They will receive a notification about it, allowing them to join the thread.

Use reactions on comments to acknowledge messages, show agreement, or give feedback.

Subscribe or unsubscribe to a comment thread to manage your notifications, and then resolve it once you're done.

Show or hide resolved comment threads by page through the comment button in the upper right.
