7.2. Create Rich Text Documents with Markdown Editing
Create new documents in AlgaPSA using the built-in rich text editor with markdown formatting shortcuts for headings, lists, tables, and images.
- Navigate to Documents from the sidebar.
- Click Add document.
- A dialog will open prompting you to choose a folder.
- Select a folder from the hierarchy (e.g., "No Place Like Home") and click Confirm.
- Optional: You can create a new folder or subfolder directly from this dialog by clicking New Folder, entering the name, and clicking Create Folder.
- Enter a clear Document Name (e.g., "Dorothy Correspondence").
- Type your content in the rich text editor, using markdown shortcuts for formatting (type
/for options like headings, bullet lists, tables, images, and videos). - Click Save.
Inserting images
Images are fully supported in the document editor. You can add them in three ways:
- Paste: Copy an image from your clipboard (for example, a screenshot) and paste it into the editor with Ctrl/⌘ + V.
- Drag and drop: Drag an image file from your file explorer directly onto the editor canvas.
- Toolbar button: Click the Insert image button in the editor toolbar, then select a file from your computer.
Once inserted, the image is uploaded to your tenant's document storage and linked to the document — it will appear in the document viewer, in client-portal article views, and when the document is exported to markdown. If an upload fails (for example, because the file is not a supported image format or exceeds the size limit), the editor shows an error notification and no content is inserted silently.
Note: Inline images are stored automatically in your tenant's Knowledge Base Attachments folder. AlgaPSA provisions this folder on first use; you do not need to manage it manually.
