Use the global command menu to find documents across your workspace:

  2. Type your search terms
  3. Document matches appear in the results
  4. Click a result to open the document

Finding Documents

By Name

Use the file tree search for quick name-based filtering:

  1. Focus the search bar
  2. Type part of the document name
  3. View matching documents instantly

By Content

Use global search to find documents containing specific text:

  1. Open global search (Cmd/Ctrl + K)
  2. Type your search terms
  3. Look for document results
  4. Click to open and view context

By Tags

While tag-based filtering is in development, you can:

  1. Open a document and look at its cover header (at the top of the editor)
  2. See assigned tags there
  3. Use consistent tagging for easier discovery

By Owner

A document's access — including its owner — is shown in the Access Control dialog. Open the dialog from the visibility button in the floating toolbar (or right-click the document and choose Change Visibility), then use global search to locate documents when needed.
