Learn about the editor for creating and editing scouts and assets

Pilfer uses a rich text editor based on Lexical for creating and editing descriptions of scouts, assets, projects, and spaces. The editor provides a clean, distraction-free writing experience with support for formatting and structured content.

Basic Editing

The editor supports standard text editing operations:

  • Type directly to add content
  • Select text to format it
  • Use standard keyboard shortcuts for copy, paste, undo, and redo

Formatting

The editor toolbar provides formatting options:

  • Bold: Make text bold
  • Italic: Make text italic
  • Underline: Underline text
  • Strikethrough: Cross out text
  • Code: Format as inline code
  • Link: Add hyperlinks to text

Keyboard Shortcuts

The editor supports common keyboard shortcuts:

  • ⌘B / Ctrl+B: Bold
  • ⌘I / Ctrl+I: Italic
  • ⌘U / Ctrl+U: Underline
  • ⌘K / Ctrl+K: Create link
  • ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z: Undo
  • ⌘Shift+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z: Redo

Auto-save

The editor automatically saves your changes as you type. You don't need to manually save - your content is preserved even if you navigate away from the page.

Templates

When creating new entities, the editor can be pre-filled with template content. This is especially useful for scouts and assets where you have standard evaluation criteria or descriptions.

Templates are managed in Settings and can be set as defaults for each entity type (scouts, assets, projects, spaces).
