Using the article editor
Welcome to the Brainfish Article Editor!
You can write in whichever way you prefer – Markdown, WYSIWYG, or taking advantage of the many keyboard shortcuts (Type ? to see them all).
Markdown
If you're comfortable writing markdown then all of the shortcuts you are used to are supported, for example type **bold** to instantly create bold text. If you forget some syntax or are after a quick refresher hit the keyboard icon in the bottom right hand corner for our guide. Learning some of the key Markdown shortcuts will definitely make using Brainfish faster and more enjoyable!
:::info You can also paste markdown, html, or rich text from elsewhere directly into a document.

References
Linking to other documents creates backlinks, which are kept up-to-date and visible at the bottom of the document. This allows you to create a library of linked information and quickly answer: "Which documents link here?"
Rich articles
The editor supports a variety of content blocks including images, tables, lists, quotes, task lists, videos, and more. Type / on an empty line or click on the + icon to trigger the block insert menu, you can keep typing to filter it down. Of course, you can also drag and drop images to include them in your document or paste a link to embed content from one of the many supported integrations.
Integrations
The editor supports integrations with a wide range of platforms. Type the / command to search for available integrations and embed content natively into your articles. Supported integrations include:
YouTube, Airtable, Loom, Wistia, Vimeo, Figma, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Spotify, Google Slides, Supademo, Google Forms, Typeform, Trello, and more.
