Docs

Your documents, the vaults of the groups you belong to, and every session you recorded.

Where this lives: Tools > Docs

What this is

Docs is your document store. It holds what you wrote, what your groups keep, and the recordings made during events, projects and jobs.

It is a separate thing from this wiki, which is the public handbook.

What you see

The title reads Docs. Above it sits the word Tools.

Three tabs, each with a count: My docs, Group docs and Recordings. My docs is where you land.

My docs holds the panel headed My documents. It carries a control that switches between two views, Documents and Filesystem.

Group docs holds the panel headed Group documents, with a chip for each group that has a vault and a count on each chip. When you are in no group with a vault, it says so.

Recordings holds two panels. Session recordings lists every session you recorded, each with its name, what it was recorded against and its date. A recording tied to nothing is labelled Unlinked. Tags lists the tags on them.

What changes for you

You must be signed in to reach Docs.

Creating a document from this page is a group action. On your own documents there is no create button. Your own tab instead offers an upload for transcriptions.

The two-view control, with Documents and Filesystem, appears only on your own documents.

A document with no visibility set behaves as Members.

Only the owner, or somebody the owner granted rights to, can change a document's visibility. Everybody else sees the settings read-only.

A session recording made on an event also appears in the recorder's own documents.

Where this connects

• Who can see what explains visibility across the whole hub.
• A group's page carries the Docs tab this page gathers from.
• Canvas is the other tool that saves into your library.
