Pages

A page is the fundamental unit of Collabase Docs. It can be anything — a technical spec, a retrospective, a runbook, an onboarding guide. Pages live in a hierarchical tree inside their Space and can be nested to any depth.

What a page contains

ElementDescription
TitleRequired. The page’s display name in the tree and search results.
BodyRich-text content using the Collabase editor.
StatusDRAFT, IN REVIEW, PUBLISHED, or ARCHIVED.
AuthorThe user who created the page.
Last updatedTimestamp and user of the most recent edit.
Custom fieldsAny custom fields your admin has configured for the Space.
LabelsFree-form tags for search and filtering.

Creating a page

1

Navigate to the Space

Open the target Space in the left sidebar.
2

Click + New Page

Click the + next to the parent page in the tree, or press Ctrl+N / Cmd+N.
3

Choose a template (optional)

Select a template from the template picker, or start blank.
4

Write and save

Auto-save is on — the page saves as DRAFT every 2 seconds. Publish when ready.

Publishing

Change a page’s status to PUBLISHED to make it the official live version. Only PUBLISHED pages appear in the Space’s navigation tree by default (Drafts are shown only to editors).

Version history

Every save creates a version snapshot. Access versions via Page menu → History:
  • Browse previous versions by date and author
  • Preview any version in full
  • Restore a previous version — the current content becomes a new version, not overwritten
  • Download as Markdown — export any version as .md

Permissions

By default, pages inherit their Space’s permissions. Restrict an individual page further via Page menu → Permissions:
SettingEffect
Inherit Space permissionsDefault — same access as the Space
RestrictedOnly specified users or groups can view/edit this page
Restrictions do not affect child pages — each page is individually permissioned.

Page comments and discussions

Comments appear in the right sidebar and support threaded replies and reactions. Use Open Discussion mode to create a longer-form comment thread with voting.
