Wiki pages#

Every workspace has one wiki: a tree of pages for the things that do not belong on a ticket — decisions, guides, conventions, anything you would otherwise explain twice.

Open it with Wiki in the sidebar, under Workspace tools.

Before you start#

• The wiki is per workspace, and there is one of them. It is created with the workspace; if it is somehow missing, writing your first page creates it. You do not choose between wikis and you cannot add a second one from the app.
• Wiki access follows workspace membership, not board access: everyone in the workspace can read every page, including pages about boards they cannot open.
• Writing needs a writer role — owner, admin or member. Viewers can read and search but cannot create or edit. See Roles and permissions.

Create a page#

• A top-level page: click the + beside Pages at the top of the sidebar tree.
• A page inside another: hover the parent row in the tree and click its +, or open the parent and choose Add child page from the ⋯ menu.

Either way, name it in the dialog and click Create page. Titles can be up to 300 characters, and a page left untitled is saved as Untitled.

Nest and organise pages#

Pages nest as deeply as you like. The tree in the sidebar shows the structure, with a chevron to expand and collapse a branch, and the top of each page shows its breadcrumbs back to the root.

Move a page under a different parent: open it, then ⋯ → Move page, and choose a new parent from the dropdown — or Top level to bring it to the root. A page cannot be moved underneath itself or one of its own descendants; that is refused with "A page cannot be moved below itself."

Reorder pages among their siblings: drag a row in the tree and drop it above or below another row; a line shows where it will land. Dropping a page beside a row also makes it a sibling of that row, so a drag can change both the parent and the position at once.

Show a contents list: ⋯ → Show child page list puts a Pages in this section panel at the top of the page, linking to its direct children with their own child counts. The same menu item hides it again. The setting belongs to the page, so everyone sees it.

Limitations#

• Reordering pages is drag-and-drop only, with a mouse or other pointer. There is no keyboard equivalent — no arrow-key reordering, no "move up" or "move down" command, and no way to type a position. Elsewhere in Laver (board and column reordering) arrow keys do work; in the wiki tree they do not.
• If you cannot drag, Move page is the keyboard-reachable fallback. It can change a page's parent, but it cannot set where the page sits among its new siblings.
• A page can only be moved within its own wiki.

Write a page#

The page title is the big field at the top; the body is below it.

The editor is rich text. Type / for the command menu, or use the toolbar:

• Headings 1–3, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code
• Bullet lists, numbered lists, checklists, quotes, code blocks
• Links, images, tables, dividers
• Undo and redo

Type @ to mention someone. The list is the active members of the workspace, and the person you mention gets an in-app notification linking to the page. Notifications are in-app only — Laver does not email them.

Add images#

Paste an image, drop one onto the page, or use the image button in the toolbar. It uploads to the page and is embedded where the cursor is. Selecting an image gives you width buttons, including Auto for its original size.

• Images only. PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP. Wiki pages do not take PDFs, documents or any other file — those go on a ticket instead, where the allowed list is wider. See Comments and files.
• 10 MB per image. Anything larger is refused with "Pasted images must be 10 MB or smaller."
• Images count against the workspace storage allowance — 1 GB on the free plan, unlimited on Pro — the same pool that ticket attachments draw on.

Drafts and autosave#

There is no save button. Laver saves the page 750 ms after you stop typing, and the pill at the top right of the page tells you where it has got to:

Every keystroke is also written to a draft in this browser, so closing the tab or losing connection does not lose your work. When you reopen a page whose local draft is newer than the server's copy, a banner says "A newer local draft was restored from this device." — keep typing to save it, or click Discard draft to go back to the server's version.

Two things worth knowing about drafts:

• The draft is stored in the browser you typed it in. It does not follow you to another device or another browser.
• Conflict means Laver has stopped pushing your edits so it does not overwrite someone else's. Your draft is safe and unsent. Copy what you need, reload the page to pick up their version, and paste your changes back in.

Version history#

History is its own button at the top of the page, next to ⋯. It lists every saved version, newest first, each with its version number, the time it was saved and the page title at the time, and a Restore button. Restoring writes the old content back as a new version, so nothing is lost by trying it.

Every autosave creates a version, so the list is granular.

Rename a page#

Edit the title field at the top of the page — it autosaves like the body. To rename a page without opening it, right-click its row in the tree and choose Rename.

Duplicate a page#

⋯ → Duplicate page, or right-click a row in the tree and choose Duplicate. The copy is titled "original (copy)" and is placed directly after the original among its siblings. Child pages are not copied — only the page itself.

Search the wiki#

Type into Search the wiki... in the sidebar, or press Cmd/Ctrl+K.

Search covers page titles and body text across the whole wiki, and results show a matching excerpt. Use the arrow keys and Enter to open one. Archived pages are not searched.

Delete or archive a page#

⋯ → Archive page, or right-click a row in the tree and choose Delete. Both do the same thing, and both take the page's child pages with them — the confirmation says so.

The pages disappear from the tree and from search for everyone. There is no restore in the app, so read the confirmation before accepting it.
