Documents brings a powerful rich-text editor into your workspace. Write long-form notes, wikis, standard operating procedures, meeting notes, and any other structured content. Organize documents into folders, control who can access each one, and attach documents directly to tasks for full context. The editor supports headings, bullet lists, numbered lists, checkboxes, code blocks, callouts, collapsible sections, tables, images, links, and more. All documents auto-save as you type.

Enable Documents

Documents is off by default. A workspace Owner or Admin must enable it first. Go to Settings → Arca Apps, find Documents, and click its toggle. Once enabled, a Documents entry appears in the left sidebar for all workspace members.

Organize with folders

You can group related documents into folders for easier navigation.

Access control

By default, all workspace members can view and edit documents. You can restrict access to specific members.

From the Documents list, click the menu on any document card.
2

Workspace Owners and Admins can always access all documents regardless of access settings. The creator of a document can also always manage it.

Attach a document to a task

You can link a document directly to a task so it appears in the task’s context. Open a task and click on the attachment icon, then click Attach Document to pick an existing document from your workspace.

Delete a document

Click the menu on a document card and select Delete. Deleting a document is permanent; it cannot be recovered.
Only the document’s creator, Admins, and Owners can delete a document.
