Markdown notes

Notes are personal markdown documents you can write and optionally share with teammates or specific groups. Use them for meeting summaries, research write-ups, shared reference docs, or anything else your team needs to capture.

​
Creating and editing notes

1

Open Notes

Click Notes in the sidebar, then click New Note.
2

Write in markdown

The editor supports full markdown — headers, lists, code blocks, tables, and inline formatting. Your note is saved automatically as you type.
3

Share with your team

By default your note is private. Click Share to control who can see it.

​
Sharing and access control

When you share a note, you add principals to its access control list. You can share with:
  • Specific people — by name or email address
  • Internal groups — all members of a group you select
  • External groups — groups synced from your IdP (for example, extgroup:confluence:engineers)
To make a note private again, remove all principals from the access list. Only the note’s owner can delete it.

​
Team channels

Channels are persistent chat rooms scoped to your team. Both people and AI agents can post messages — making channels useful for group discussions, async Q&A, or AI-assisted team workflows.

​
Using channels

1

Open a channel

Click Channels in the sidebar. Your team’s channels are listed. Click any channel to open it.
2

Post a message

Type in the message input at the bottom and press Enter. All team members in the channel see your message in real time.
3

Invoke an agent

Type @agentname in any message to invoke an agent. ManyLayers runs the agent in the background and posts the reply as a channel message — visible to everyone. The agent response appears asynchronously when it is ready.

​
Creating channels

Team admins and members with the channels permission can create new channels. Click + New Channel at the top of the Channels list and give it a name.

​
Image generation

You can generate images directly in the workspace chat by clicking the image icon in the chat toolbar (if your team has the image_generation permission). Describe what you want in natural language and the image is generated and inserted into the conversation.
Notes require the notes feature permission and channels require the channels feature permission. Admins enable these per-team in Admin UI → Teams → Permissions. See Permissions.
