Boards
Organize ideas into boards, spaces, and sections.
Proofreading in notes
3 minEden underlines spelling mistakes, grammar slips, and wordy phrases in your notes as you write, marks sentences that are hard to read with a small dot, and offers fixes and rephrases when you hover. Here's how it works, what it checks, and how to turn it off.
Comments on notes and items
3 minLeave threaded comments on any item in your Library, highlight a passage in a note to comment on it, pin comments to a board, and let readers of a shared note or board comment without giving them edit access.
Sharing a board with a collaborator
4 minBoards are shareable. Hand out a view link to anyone, invite specific people with view or edit access, and let receivers duplicate the board as their own.
Sharing a single item
3 minYou don't have to share a whole board. Make one item public and share its link, let readers comment on or edit a note, or invite specific people to just that item with view or edit access.
Team and private boards
5 minWork with your team in one workspace without sharing everything. Private boards stay yours, Team boards are shared, and each member gets a default access level you control.
Tables
8 minCreate and work with database-style lists using columns, statuses, group-by, and the list, kanban, and calendar layouts.
Documents vs tables
6 minDocuments are for thinking. Tables are for tracking. Here is how to tell which one a piece of work needs, and how the two work together.
Working fast in freeform
4 minThe shortcuts, drag gestures, and pen habits that make a freeform board quick, plus the Miro and Poppy equivalents if you are switching over.
Grid and snapping on the freeform canvas
2 minTurn on the background dot grid, snap items while you drag, and use the Cmd/Ctrl modifier to snap on demand or break free.
Version history
4 minEden snapshots every doc and board as you edit. Here's how version history works, how often a new version is captured, how to preview and restore one, and the guarantee that the latest snapshot is always kept.
Inviting people to a note, board, or table
3 minShare a single note, board, or table with specific people by email. Choose whether each person can view or edit. Invites are free and don't use a seat.
Creating your first board
4 minCreate a board, add your first sources, then choose grid view for a swipe file or freeform canvas for a spatial creative project.
Trash and restoring items
4 minHow Eden's Trash works. Sending things to Trash, restoring them, the Cmd+Z undo, and what happens to a board's children when you trash the whole board.
Boards, spaces, and sections
4 minThree layers of organization in Eden. Boards hold your work. Spaces group boards in the sidebar. Sections group items inside one board.
How creators use Eden boards as swipe files
6 minA swipe file is a private collection of work you study and remix. Here is how to build one with Eden boards, and the patterns that make a good one.
Sorting a board
3 minThe four sort modes available now, what each one is good for, and which features are still coming.
Using sections to organize a board
4 minSections are filters inside one board that show you one slice at a time. Here is how to use them, and when they beat splitting into separate boards.
Using the Eden Chrome extension
6 minSave any link, post, or image to a board in one click, add inline Save buttons on social platforms, and open creator research in the sidebar.
Pinning what you use most
2 minPin a board, a note, a table, or a chat and it lands in your Pinned section — the top of the sidebar on web, the top of Home on iPhone and Android.
Trash and version retention
5 minHow long Eden keeps trashed items and old version snapshots before reaping them, per plan. Includes the 14-day grace window after a plan downgrade so nothing falls off a cliff the moment your card is charged.
Quick capture
5 minCapture is the fastest way to drop a thought, link, or file straight onto a board from anywhere in Eden — open it with ⌘K or the sidebar.
