Using Tela

Day-to-day tela — writing, finding, sharing, and syncing your content.

Write & present

• [[The editor & blocks]] — the rich block palette (callouts, tabs, diagrams, kanban, decks…), all markdown underneath.
• [[Presentations & decks]] — turn any page into a Slidev deck: write markdown, pick a theme, present live, or export to PDF/PPTX.
• [[Keyboard shortcuts]] — jump between pages, move through lists, and skim in reading mode.

Find & connect

• [[Search & ask your docs]] — instant full-text + semantic search, and natural-language Q&A grounded in your pages.
• [[Graph view]] — see how pages connect; [[wikilinks]] build backlinks and the graph automatically.
• [[Trust & provenance]] — who wrote a page (human / agent / sync) and how fresh it is.

Share & sync

• [[Sharing a space]] — give people access by username or email, roles, and inviting someone who has no tela account yet.
• [[Publishing & public URLs]] — make a space public, the /discover directory, and the /{handle} URL scheme.
• [[Sync your vault (WebDAV)]] — mount your wiki as local markdown on any platform.
• [[Sync with rclone]] — scriptable two-way sync, mounts, and backups.

[!NOTE] Also built in: live co-editing and comments, and stars to keep favourite pages one click away. Your spaces and their pages share one collapsible sidebar tree — clustered by owning organization, with each space expanding to reveal its pages. Create a space from the command palette (⌘⇧P → New space) or the Your spaces section on the home dashboard.

Hiding spaces from the sidebar

Collected more spaces than you navigate to? Open a space's ⋯ menu in the sidebar and choose Hide space. Hidden spaces drop out of the tree, and a quiet Show hidden (N) row appears at the bottom — click it to reveal them in place, greyed out, where ⋯ → Unhide space puts one back for good.

Hiding is decluttering, not access control, and it's per person — hiding a space only changes your sidebar, never anyone else's, and never the space's permissions:

• The space still appears on the Spaces overview page, in search, and in the command palette.
• It stays fully reachable by URL, and its pages keep showing up in results.
• The space you're currently viewing is always shown in the tree, even if it's hidden — navigating into a space never makes it disappear.
