A draft is a markdown document in a workspace. Everything you write in Ramble lives in one.

Create and rename

To create a draft, select New draft. It is in the sidebar, on the home page, and on the drafts list. The new draft opens empty and shows as “Untitled” until you give it a title at the top of the editor.

The title field at the top of the editor is also where you rename a draft: edit the text and the name updates everywhere it appears. Only the draft’s author can rename it.

Pin a draft

Pin a draft to keep it at the top of the sidebar and in the quick switcher, where you can reach it without searching. You can pin up to 6 drafts per workspace.

A draft you reach only through a link cannot be pinned, and a pin clears if you lose access to the draft.

When a collaborator edits a pinned or recent draft after you last opened it, a small dot appears next to it. The dot clears when you open the draft.

Duplicate, copy, and export

Duplicate draft makes a copy in the same workspace, which gives you a starting point without touching the original.

To put a draft’s text somewhere else, Copy content copies the whole draft to your clipboard and Export downloads it as a .md file. The editor covers both.

Properties

The Properties view shows a draft’s details in one place: the title, the author, the created and last-modified dates, the workspace and stack it belongs to, and document stats (lines, words, and characters). It is read-only.

Browse the draft library

The home page and the drafts list are where you browse every draft you can reach, in two scopes:

Within either scope you can search, filter by owner or stack, and sort (the default is most recently edited). Switch between card and list view as needed. Long lists page in as you go: select Load more to bring in the next set. To jump straight to a draft from anywhere, open the quick switcher with Cmd+K.

Bulk actions

To act on several drafts at once, select them: click a draft to select it, shift-click to select a range, or select all the drafts currently loaded (up to 100). With drafts selected, you can move them to a stack, move them to another workspace, or move them to trash. Press Escape to clear the selection.

Moving a draft to another workspace resets its sharing to private and removes it from its stack. See Sharing & access.

Viewers do not see selection controls. Creating, editing, duplicating, and bulk-selecting are for owners and editors; viewers open and browse drafts but cannot change them.

Trash and restore

Deleting a draft moves it to Trash, where it stays recoverable for 30 days unless you permanently delete it sooner. Restoring a draft brings it back to Your drafts with sharing settings cleared: publishing is off and any agent link is revoked.

Emptying the trash permanently deletes everything in it.
