When to use

Markdown in Workflowy makes it easy to format your content using familiar shortcuts. You can type simple markdown - like # for headers, > for blockquotes, or [] for checkboxes - and Workflowy will automatically convert it as you go. Pasting markdown from other tools also works seamlessly, with bold, italics, lists, and more rendered into clean, structured bullets. And when you export, your notes come out in proper markdown too - perfect for moving content between apps without losing structure.
