Creating items directly in the Library
Make notes and cards, upload PDFs and images, and paste links to save them, all without leaving the Library. Each becomes an item you can reuse anywhere.
You don't have to be on a board to add something to Eden. Create notes, upload files, and save links straight from the Library, and each one becomes an item you can use anywhere.
The Library isn't only where saved things collect. It's also a place you can create from directly. Here are the ways.
Write a note or card in place
Open the create menu in the Library to make a new note or card without leaving the page. A card editor sheet opens right there, so you can write and save in one spot.
- A note is for longer writing: outlines, drafts, anything with paragraphs.
- A card is a quick thought captured fast, one idea at a time.
Jot something fast with quick-compose
When you just want to get an idea down before it's gone, quick-compose lets you type a note and save it in a couple of seconds. No naming, no filing, no board to pick. Capture now, shape it later.
Drag in files
Drag PDFs and images straight into the Library from your desktop. Eden uploads them and saves each as an item, ready to open, read, and highlight. This is the fastest way to bring a stack of PDFs or a set of screenshots into your workspace at once.
Paste a link
Paste any URL into the Library to save it as a link card. Eden enriches the link at save time, pulling the title and a preview so it reads as a proper item rather than a raw string of text.
Where to go next
- For how the Library and its items work overall, read the Library.
- To narrow down what you've created, read filtering and browsing your Library.
- To arrange items for a project, read creating your first board.
The Library: everything you've saved, in one place
The Library is your workspace-wide home for every link, PDF, image, note, saved post, and highlight. Here is how it works and how it relates to boards.
Filtering and browsing your Library
Narrow your Library with filter chips, group items by source, and sort the grid. Chips work as a union, so each one you add shows more items, not fewer.
Creating your first board
Create a board, add your first sources, then choose grid view for a swipe file or freeform canvas for a spatial creative project.
