Core Features of Next Step Conrad
Explore the essential capabilities of Next Step Conrad, including tools for structuring, editing, and collaborating on documentation.
Overview
Next Step Conrad provides powerful tools to manage your project documentation effectively. You can structure content into hierarchies, edit with rich formatting, collaborate seamlessly with teams, track changes via version control, and discover information quickly through search. These features help you maintain organized, up-to-date docs from scratch.
Hierarchies & Folders
Build nested folder structures for clear navigation.
Editing Tools
Format content with markdown and visual editors.
Team Collaboration
Share, review, and co-edit docs in real time.
Version Control
Track changes and revert to previous versions.
Search & Discovery
Find content instantly across your spaces.
Export Options
Generate PDFs, HTML, or Markdown exports.
Organizing Hierarchies and Folders
Create intuitive folder structures to mirror your project's architecture. Start by nesting pages within folders for logical grouping, such as /docs/api/reference or /guides/user-flows.
Create a Folder
Navigate to your space root. Click the + button and select New Folder. Name it descriptively, like API Reference.
Add Pages
Inside the folder, create new pages. Drag and drop to reorder or nest further.
Set Permissions
Right-click the folder to configure view/edit access for team members.
Use consistent naming conventions like kebab-case (user-guide) for better searchability.
Editing and Formatting Tools
Edit docs using markdown or a WYSIWYG editor. Support includes headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and embeds.
Write structured content with familiar syntax.
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
- List item
- Another item
```javascript
console.log("Hello, docs!");
```
Toggle to visual mode for drag-and-drop formatting. Insert images via https://images.unsplash.com/photo-... or tables without syntax.
Collaboration Features for Teams
Invite team members to spaces and assign roles like Editor or Viewer. Enable real-time co-editing with live cursors and comments.
// API to invite user (if integrated)
await fetch('https://api.example.com/spaces/{spaceId}/invites', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' },
body: JSON.stringify({ email: 'team@company.com', role: 'editor' })
});
# CLI command for sharing
nsc share --space my-docs --email team@company.com --role editor
Version Control for Changes
Every edit creates a version snapshot. View history, compare diffs, and restore previous states.
Search and Discovery
Use full-text search across spaces. Filters by folder, tag, or date help narrow results.
Pro tip: Add tags like api, guide to pages for refined queries, e.g., search api endpoint.
