Focus Mode
Focus mode presents just the article content, removing menus and extra details. Its purpose is to ensure users concentrate solely on the text.
To activate focus mode, click the icon at the article's top right
Click on the X to exit the mode
Sort mode
To arrange articles:
Click the 'Sort Mode' button found at the bottom of the Doc menu.
Icons with three lines will appear next to categorize and articles.
Drag and drop them to reorder.
Click the 'Sort Mode' button again to exit.
Visibility
To publish/unpublish articles, click the 'Visibility' button on the top right.
If the site is set to public (see settings), the article will appear online. A green 'Visibility' toggle indicates a published article.
To unpublish, click the toggle until it turns red.
When editing a published article, a note with a yellow background reading "This document contains unpublished changes" will appear at the top.
To make edits public, click 'Publish Changes'.
Otherwise, click the dropdown arrow on the button and choose 'Discard Changes'.
