What Are Snippets?

Snippets are saved blocks of content you can insert anywhere with the "/" menu. Instead of retyping the same newsletter outline, prompt, or response template, save it once and access it instantly.

Snippets can include:

• Formatted text (bold, headers, lists)

• Images

• Mixed content (text and images together)

• Any content you can add to a Note

Two Types of Snippets

Eden has two snippet types: Templates and Prompts. Both work the same way — the difference is where they appear.

Templates

General-purpose snippets for any reusable content. Access them via the "/" menu in notes, chats, and comments.

Use Templates for:

• Content outlines (newsletters, blog posts, video scripts)

• Meeting note structures

• Project templates

• Standard responses

• Research frameworks

Prompts

Snippets designed for AI conversations. These appear in two places:

1. The "/" menu (like Templates)

2. The New Chat page — displayed by group so you can click to start a conversation immediately

Use Prompts for:

• Frequently used AI instructions

• Analysis frameworks you run repeatedly

• Creative prompts you return to often

• Standard questions for research

When you click a Prompt on the New Chat page, it populates the input field so you can review or edit before sending.

Creating a Snippet

Method 1: From Selected Text

The fastest way to create a snippet from existing content:

1. Select text inside a Note

2. Click the bookmark icon in the bubble menu that appears

3. Name your snippet

4. Choose the type (Template or Prompt)

5. Assign it to a group (optional)

6. Save

Your selected content is automatically added to the snippet.

Method 2: From the Slash Menu

Create a snippet from scratch:

1. Type /New snippet in any text field

2. Select the option from the menu

3. Name your snippet

4. Add your content

5. Choose the type

6. Assign it to a group (optional)

7. Save

Using Snippets

Insert a snippet anywhere you can type:

• Notes

• AI chat inputs (on Canvas or in your workspace)

How to Insert

Option 1: Type to filter

1. Type /

2. Continue typing the snippet name

3. Select from filtered results

4. The snippet replaces the "/" and inserts your content

Option 2: Browse the menu

1. Type /

2. Scroll through available snippets

3. Click to insert

Quick Access for Prompts

On the New Chat page, your Prompts are displayed by group. Click any Prompt to populate the chat input — then send or edit as needed.

Organizing with Groups

Groups help you categorize snippets. Create groups for:

• Project types (Client Work, Personal, Content)

• Content categories (Outlines, Prompts, Templates)

• Workflows (Research, Writing, Review)

Each snippet belongs to one group. Snippets can also exist without a group.

On the New Chat page, Prompts are organized by their groups, making it easy to find the right prompt for your task.

Managing Snippets

To view, edit, or delete your snippets:

1. Go to Settings

2. Select Snippets

3. Edit any snippet's name, content, type, or group

4. Delete snippets you no longer need

Tips for Effective Snippets

Start with what you repeat

Notice when you're typing the same thing twice. That's a snippet waiting to happen.

Keep prompts focused

Shorter, single-purpose prompts are easier to find and use than long multi-step instructions.

Use descriptive names

"Newsletter Outline" is easier to find than "Template 1." Your future self will thank you.

Group strategically

A few well-organized groups beat dozens of ungrouped snippets.

Iterate over time

As your workflows evolve, update your snippets. The best snippet library is one you actually use.

Common Questions

Can I share snippets with my team?

Yes. You can select the option to share with your workspace during snippet creation.

Do snippets sync across devices?

Yes. Your snippets are available wherever you access Eden.

Is there a limit to how many snippets I can create?

No. Create as many as you need.

Can I use snippets on Canvas?

Yes. The "/" menu works in Canvas AI chat inputs, Notes on Canvas, and anywhere else you can type.

What's the difference between Templates and Prompts?

Functionality is identical. The only difference is that Prompts also appear on the New Chat page for quick access when starting AI conversations.
