Document Structure

Notivae’s power lies in how you can organize your knowledge into clear, nested structures — 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:

📁 Programming Notes
 ┣ 📄 Languages
 ┃ ┣ 📄 Rust
 ┃ ┗ 📄 Python
 ┣ 📄 Tools
 ┃ ┗ 📄 Docker
 ┗ 📄 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 — whether you’re working solo or collaborating.
