Quick start

You'll have a working workspace in under five minutes. Here's how.

1. Create your workspace

After signing up, you'll be prompted to create a workspace. Give it a name — this is usually your company or team name. You can create multiple workspaces later if you need them.

2. Create your first page

Click the + button in the sidebar, or press Ctrl+N (Cmd+N on Mac). A new untitled document will open in the editor. Click the title area and give it a name.

3. Write something

The editor works like any block editor. Click anywhere to start typing. To add a new type of block — a heading, a list, a code block — type / to open the slash command menu and pick what you want.

4. Organise with the sidebar

Your pages appear in the left sidebar. You can:

  • Drag pages to reorder them
  • Nest pages under other pages by dragging one onto another
  • Create folders to group related content

5. Invite your team

Go to Settings → Members and paste in email addresses. They'll receive an invitation link. You can set them as Admin, Editor, or Viewer — see Roles & permissions for details.

6. Import existing content (optional)

If you're moving from Notion, paste any Notion page URL into the import dialog (the arrow icon in the toolbar) and Nexus will pull it in as native blocks. See Import from Notion for a full walkthrough.
