Entry types

Every entry has a type — note, task, project, and so on — and the catalog of types belongs to your workspace. Owners shape it under Settings → Entry types; members see the same catalog read-only. Each type shows a count of the entries you can access.

​

Restyle any type

For every type in the catalog you can:

• Rename its label and plural label
• Write or edit its description
• Pick an icon from the icon set
• Pick an accent color

These changes apply everywhere the type appears — the New entry picker, views, and entry pages.

​

Turn a type off

Each type has a switch. Turning a type off removes it from the New entry picker, so no one creates new entries of that type. Existing entries keep working exactly as before — nothing is hidden or deleted.

​

Add a custom type

Add your own types for the things your studio tracks — a “Campaign” or a “Vendor”, for example. A custom type is a regular markdown entry type: give it a name, icon, color, and description, then add the fields it needs (text, dates, statuses, connections to other entries).

​

Put a custom type on Calendar, Timeline, or Kanban

Views pick up custom types through field roles. When you edit a field, you can give it a role:

​

Edit fields

• On built-in types, the built-in fields are fixed — you can’t change or remove them. Fields you added yourself are editable.
• Once a field holds values on real entries, its name and type lock.

​

Adopt a type

If your workspace contains entries whose type isn’t in the catalog — for example, from imported content — the page offers to adopt it. Adopting registers the type so you can style it and manage it like any other.

​

Delete a custom type

Deleting a custom type converts its existing entries to another type of your choice — note by default — so no entries are lost. Only custom types can be deleted; core types can’t.
