Notes and the editor
Create structured notes, connect related work, and see what links back to each note.
Open /notes to browse your notes. You can place notes in folders and link each one to a subject. Open a note at /note/<id> to edit it.
Write and format
The editor uses rich text blocks. Type / to open the slash menu, or drag a block by its handle to move it. Selecting text opens a formatting toolbar.
You can add:
- headings, paragraphs, and text alignment
- bulleted lists, numbered lists, and task lists with checkboxes
- tables
- code blocks with syntax highlighting
- inline and block maths rendered with KaTeX
- images pasted or dropped into the editor
- inline dates: type
@today,@tomorrow,@yesterdayor@2026-10-03, or pick a day with/date. Click a date to change it.
Pasted and dropped images are uploaded and stored. The editor also shows a live word count and words-per-minute statistics.
Maths
Type $x^2$ followed by a space for an inline formula, or use /math to insert a formula block with a live preview. See Maths in notes for LaTeX, chemistry, physics and equation numbering.
Import files
Use the import button beside New folder, or drop files or folders onto the notes list. WorkRoad turns supported files into notes. See Importing notes for formats, scanned pages, exports from other apps and import limits.
Link your work
Type @ to mention one of your notes, tasks, subjects, flashcard sets, recordings, or tests. The editor inserts a live chip for the item. If you rename the item, the chip updates. If you delete it, the chip shows a tombstone instead of pointing to missing content.
Under each note, the backlinks panel lists everything that mentions that note. This gives you both directions of a connection: the mention where you inserted it and the backlink on the note it points to.
Use notes elsewhere
Notes can supply material to the copilot. When you build a test, you can also choose notes as sources alongside flashcard sets.
A note's Export menu downloads it as Markdown, as Markdown with its files (ZIP), as HTML with its images, as a Word document or as a PDF. The Word document and the PDF keep the note's headings, lists, tables, code, images and formulas, each formula drawn as a picture. Print opens the note's print view instead, where your browser can also save it as a PDF.
