Create Document

NocoDocs keeps documents in a hierarchical tree. You can create top-level documents and nest child documents below them.

Ask NocoAI

Copy a prompt, paste it into NocoAI in any base, and replace the words in [brackets] with your own.

  • Create a doc called [Meeting Notes] with sections for [agenda, decisions and action items]

  • Write a [project brief] doc for [project name]

Create a New Document

You can create a document in two ways:

From the sidebar

  1. Open the project for the new document.
  2. At the top of the left sidebar, click Create New.
  3. From the list, select Document. A new untitled document opens in the editor.

Documents show in the sidebar together with your tables and dashboards, sorted by their order.

Documents can be nested to any depth. Child documents are lazy-loaded — they appear when you expand their parent in the sidebar tree.

Add a Document Icon

Each document can have an emoji icon. The icon helps you find the document quickly.

  1. In the sidebar, hover over the document.
  2. Click the ... icon.
  3. From the context menu, select Change icon.
