💎 Pro Tip: On your keyboard, hit "the slash / key" and type toggle, footnote, or nested cards to immediately begin writing your content.
What's the Best Way to Use Each One?
Use footnotes for references, toggles for collapsible details, and nested cards for organizing sections.
How to Use Footnotes

A footnote section will appear at the bottom of the card.
Paste or type the additional information into the footnote section.
Step 2: Edit or Remove a Footnote
Click inside the footnote section to edit the text.
To remove a footnote, delete the reference in the main content, and it will be removed automatically.
How to Use Toggles

How to Use Nested Cards
🌀 Insight: Nested cards allow you to embed one card inside another, creating structured sub-sections for related content.
Step 1: Add a Nested Card
Click and drag one card onto another in the main slides OR start a blank nested card by typing "/ nested card".
The card will become nested inside the parent card.
Click the nested card to expand or collapse it within the main content.
