Getting started

This tutorial will walk you through creating a new Notepad document, adding text, an image, and a table, and then exporting the document as a PDF.

Create a Notepad document

You can create a new Notepad document, by doing any of the following:

• Hover over the Notepad application icon in the Foundry sidebar and select New document
• Right-click in a folder and select New > Document
• Click the + New button.

Once you've created your document, start by adding a headline: type your headline caption and select Large Heading in the top toolbar to format the text accordingly.

Next, add some text to your document and add a second column to put an image right next to it. To do this, first click Add column in the toolbar and either drag and drop an existing image or simply paste an image from the clipboard into the new column.

Finally, insert a table at the bottom of your document. To do this, open the widget insertion menu by typing the / shortcut in a paragraph or by clicking + Widget in the toolbar and searching for Table.

Export a Notepad document

To export the document to share with others, click the Actions button in the top right and select Export and then Export as PDF. This triggers the document rendering process. When the Notepad is finished rendering, it will be automatically downloaded and saved as a PDF document.

Search for a Notepad document

To search for a document, click Search located at the top right of the Notepad home page (accessed by clicking the Notepad application in the Foundry sidebar) and begin typing. You are able to search for documents which you have view access to.
