Create your first document

Open a workspace and choose New document. Enter a title that describes the durable subject of the page, such as “Vendor onboarding checklist” rather than “Notes.” Choose a collection if the document belongs to an existing area.

Write and save

The document editor saves continuously. Start with a short summary, then add headings to make the page scannable. Use the formatting controls or Markdown shortcuts for lists, links, code, and emphasis.

You do not need to publish or manually save. Other people with access see changes through the collaborative session.

Link related knowledge

Use a document link when another Quire page provides context. Links remain identifiable as Quire document references, and backlink tools can show which documents point to the current page.

Keep each document focused on one durable topic. If a page begins to cover separate decisions or processes, split those parts into linked documents. This makes the content easier for people to maintain and for agents to retrieve precisely.

Move or rename

Rename a document from its document controls. Move it to another collection from the same menu or the workspace tree. Quire records these operations in history and updates the document's .md path.

A document title and its .md path are related but not interchangeable. Integrations should use stable document IDs and treat paths as human-readable locations that can change.
