Best practices

​
Start simple, add complexity as needed

Don’t overthink structure upfront. Begin writing and let the organization emerge naturally. Turn blocks into pages when sections need more detail, and use styling to highlight important information.

​
Use the right tool for each job

Craft offers many content types – text, images, tables, collections, whiteboards, code blocks. Choose the format that best communicates your ideas. A whiteboard might be perfect for brainstorming, while a table works better for comparing options.

​
Maintain consistent styling

Create a visual system for your documents. Use similar fonts, colors, and formatting across related documents. Save your favorites as templates for quick reuse.

​
Leverage templates

Templates save time on recurring tasks. Use Craft’s built-in templates or create your own for meeting notes, project plans, weekly reviews, or any repeating document structure.
