Boards

Organize ideas into boards, spaces, and sections.

Proofreading in notes

3 min

Eden 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 min

Leave 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 min

Boards 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 min

You 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 min

Work 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 min

Create and work with database-style lists using columns, statuses, group-by, and the list, kanban, and calendar layouts.

Documents vs tables

6 min

Documents 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 min

The 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 min

Turn 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 min

Eden 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 min

Share 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 min

Create 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 min

How 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 min

Three 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 min

A 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 min

The four sort modes available now, what each one is good for, and which features are still coming.

Using sections to organize a board

4 min

Sections 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 min

Save 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 min

Pin 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 min

How 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 min

Capture 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.

Eden Chrome extension quick start guide

3 min

Install the Eden Chrome extension, connect your account, choose a workspace, and save your first page or post to a board.
