Examples of Files & Images in Use

Enriching Documents You Already Create

Easily add visual details and upload files to transform your Workflowy notes and outlines into context rich documents. Everything from work proposals to class notes and report outlines can include images and files that make the surrounding text clearer and easier to understand.

Some ideas to get you started:

  • Quickly outlining blog posts and reports
  • Taking photos for a job proposal and then adding the notes below each image
  • Adding screenshots of papers and the original pdf to research outlines
  • Adding lecture slides to class notes
  • Take photos of whiteboards and documents then incorporate them into your processes

Storing and Sharing Assets

Skip the online drives and emails. Share templates, assets, screenshots, references and any other type of file you can imagine with your team without having to depend on third party apps and complicated permissions. Just drag and drop the files and images, then share with your team.

Some ideas to get you started:

  • Keeping a repository of commonly used templates
  • Creating and sharing how-to guides with photos and screenshots
  • Creating documentation with images and gifs for internal or external use
  • Centralizing assets that are created by one team and used by another

Documenting and tracking file changes

Nest files and images when you make modifications to easily keep track of those changes. This lets you keep the original file and also keep track of important updates. Use Workflowy's nesting bullets to easily organize all your files and quickly access previous versions - no need for complex naming schemes or complicated version control systems.

Some ideas to get you started:

  • Sharing drafts of files with clients
  • Keeping everyone on a team up to date with the latest version of a file
  • Simplify review and editing flows, no more misplaced versions
