Use slash commands

Slash commands let you insert any block type without leaving the keyboard.

Open the slash menu

  1. Place your cursor on an empty line (or at the end of a line).

  2. Type /.

  3. A searchable dropdown appears with the available block types.

  4. Type to filter. For example, /code narrows to Code Block and Code Tabs.

  5. Press Enter or click to insert.

Available commands

Each row shows the exact menu label. Type any part of the label (or a common alias) to filter.

Menu label

Inserts

Inline AI

Inline AI prompt to write or rewrite selected text (same as Cmd+/)

AI Chat

AI conversation panel (same as Cmd+Shift+/)

AI: Draft section

Draft new content at the cursor. A Brief / Standard / Detailed length chooser appears, then the draft applies as an accept/dismiss diff

AI: Improve

Improve the selection, or the whole topic if nothing is selected, as an accept/dismiss diff

Component and Inline Component slash items appear only on the Business plan, where How component reuse works is available. The AI slash items are hidden only in the component editor, which does not wire up topic links, components, or AI.

You do not need to type the exact label. The menu matches aliases too: typing /quote finds Blockquote, /numbered finds Ordered List, and /note finds Info Callout. This makes slash commands faster than reaching for toolbar buttons.

Tips

  • Slash commands work in topics. The component editor has a reduced menu (no topic links, components, or AI).

  • Link between topics can be inserted from the slash menu or the toolbar. Create variable sets tokens are inserted from the toolbar picker, not the slash menu.

For a complete reference of all slash commands with detailed descriptions, see Editor slash commands.
