Creating & Editing
Create new records and learn how the editor works.
Records are the foundation of your knowledge in Goodterm. Creating one takes just a click, and the editor stays out of your way so you can focus on writing.
Creating a New Record
Click the + button in the sidebar to create a new record. A fresh editor opens immediately — just start typing. There is no need to set a title first; you can always add or change it later.
Your new record appears in the sidebar list right away, so you can easily switch between records at any time.
The Editor Workspace
The editor gives you a clean writing space with a toolbar at the top. The toolbar provides quick access to formatting options like headings, bold text, lists, code blocks, and more. You will find all the details in Formatting & Editor Tools.
Below the toolbar is your writing area. It works like any modern text editor — click anywhere to start typing, select text to format it, and use familiar keyboard shortcuts.
Opening Existing Records
All your records are listed in the sidebar. Click on any record to open it in the editor. You can use the search field at the top of the sidebar to quickly find a specific record by its content.
Autosave
You never have to worry about saving. Goodterm automatically saves your changes as you type. There is no save button and no risk of losing your work — every edit is persisted right away.
