Docs are your flexible, collaborative workspace for capturing insights, drafting reports, documenting processes, or summarizing meetings and analyses. Whether you’re working solo or as a team, docs help you turn knowledge and AI-generated results into structured, shareable content, all within Sana.

What are Docs in Sana?

A doc, is a living, editable document created and stored within Sana Agents. You can create docs from scratch or generate them as part of a workflow, e.g., creating a doc after running a data analysis. Each doc opens in a dedicated canvas, where you can write, format, and collaborate in real time.

  • Live collaboration: Users can collaboratively edit manually in a doc, with real-time updates.

  • Edit the doc with Sana: Want to make changes to your doc? Ask the agent for help; or make direct edits yourself.

  • Rich content: Add text, tables, images, and charts to enhance your doc.

  • Integrated workflows: Save results from analyses, meeting notes, or brainstorming sessions directly into a doc.

  • Organized knowledge: Store docs inside folders alongside files, chats, and other resources.

  • Flexible export: Download docs or export them to Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or PDF.

How to use Docs

  2. Edit and format: Use the editor in the canvas to structure, format, and enhance your content.

  3. Collaborate: Share docs with others for real-time co-editing, feedback, or review.

  4. Organize: Move docs into folders for easy access and context.

  5. Export: Download or export your doc for external sharing or record-keeping.
