πŸ“„ Document Structure ​

Notivae’s power lies in how you can organize your knowledge into clear, nested structures β€” making it easy to find, edit, and collaborate on content.

Documents and Collections ​

  • Collections are like folders. They help you group related documents logically. (e.g. Work or Studies)
  • Documents contain the actual markdown content.

Each user’s workspace holds multiple collections, and each collection contains multiple documents.

Nesting Documents ​

Documents can be nested inside other documents to create deep hierarchies that mirror your thinking or project needs.

Example:

πŸ“ Programming Notes
 ┣ πŸ“„ Languages
 ┃ ┣ πŸ“„ Rust
 ┃ β”— πŸ“„ Python
 ┣ πŸ“„ Tools
 ┃ β”— πŸ“„ Docker
 β”— πŸ“„ Personal Roadmap

This lets you structure your notes as folders and subfolders, but within the markdown document hierarchy.

Benefits of Nested Structure ​

  • Organize large knowledge bases clearly
  • Focus on small, manageable documents while keeping the big picture
  • Enable granular access control at different hierarchy levels (planned)
  • Support versioning and snapshots per document

Notivae’s UI reflects this hierarchy with:

  • Sidebar trees to browse collections and documents
  • Breadcrumbs for context inside nested documents
  • Quick search to jump between documents

By structuring your knowledge this way, Notivae helps you maintain clarity, context, and control over your content β€” whether you’re working solo or collaborating.
