Folding and Longform

Two ways to change how much of your writing you see at once: fold a section away under its heading, or open a whole folder of pages as one longform document.

Folding

Any section can collapse under its heading. Hover over a heading and a small chevron appears in the left margin — click it and everything under that heading (down to the next heading of the same or higher level) tucks away behind a ⋯ hint. Click again to bring it back.

• From the keyboard: ⌥⌘. folds or unfolds the section the caret is in. View ▸ Fold All Sections and Unfold All Sections work the whole page at once — fold everything for a tidy outline of headings, then open just the part you're working on.
• Folds are view state, never content. A folded section is still on the page, still searched, still exported, still shared — folding never touches what's saved. Your folds are remembered per page, so a long reference page stays collapsed the way you left it.
• Editing near a fold is safe: if a heading is deleted, its hidden section simply reappears.

Longform — many pages, one document

Sometimes the pieces want to read as a whole: chapters of a draft, a series of meeting notes, a travel journal. Run Open Folder as Longform… from the command palette (⇧⌘P) and pick any folder with two or more pages — they stack into a single scrolling document, each page a sheet divided by a slim rule that carries its name.

Or hand-pick the pages — they don't need to share a folder. In the Pages palette, tap Select, check the pages you want (anywhere in the wiki, in any order), then click ⧉ Longform in the bar that appears: they compose into one document in the order you picked them. Chapters 1, 4, and 7; the three meeting notes about one vendor; today's note plus the two pages it references — whatever belongs together right now, reads together right now.

• Everything stays editable. Click into any sheet and write — every change saves back to that sheet's own page, exactly as if you'd opened it alone. It's one reading surface over your real pages, not a copy.
• Click a sheet's name on its divider to open that page on its own; ✕ Exit Longform in the masthead (or navigating anywhere) returns to normal one-page editing.
• Folding works inside each sheet, links work everywhere, and the format bar follows whichever sheet the caret is in.
• Pages that can't take part (plain-text, file, and encrypted pages) are skipped.

If you have written long-form in a dedicated writing app, you will know this move: several short pieces stitched into one scrolling draft. Your wiki pages just learned it.

Two pages, both to write in

Side by Side, which put two pages in two columns you could both type in, is now simply two panes: every pane can be written in. See Panes: several pages side by side, each with its own tabs in Transclusion and Panes.
