Creating a Document from Scratch

OneSuite includes a Notion-like rich text editor that makes writing and formatting documents simple and intuitive. You can create contracts, proposals, NDAs, or any custom document directly within your workspace—then send it for signatures in just a few steps.

Start a New Document #

Starting a document in OneSuite is simple and familiar, especially if you’ve used editors like Notion.

  1. Go to the Documents module: From the left sidebar, click Document V2 to access your Document Home.
  2. Click “Start from blank”: This opens the OneSuite document editor where you can begin writing.
  3. Enter a document title: At the top, give your document a name (e.g., “Freelance Agreement”).
  4. Select a document type: Use the dropdown next to the title to choose the appropriate type (Proposal, NDA, Contract, etc.). (You can manage these options via the “Customize” button on the main dashboard.)
  5. Link to a project (optional): Use the Project selector in the top-right to associate this document with a client project.
  6. Select recipients (optional): As you add parties, you can select existing contacts from your OneSuite Clients, Leads, or Team database.
    Don’t see the person? Click Create new to manually add them.
  7. Start writing your document: Now start writing your document.
    • Type freely using the editor
    • Press / to insert content blocks (headings, lists, tables, etc.)
    • Use the formatting toolbar to style your content

Insert Blocks with “/” Command #

In OneSuite’s editor, typing / opens a quick-insert menu that lets you add content blocks without using the toolbar. This is especially useful for building documents faster with consistent formatting.

Available Blocks

✓ Heading 1 — Large section titles
✓ Heading 2 — Subheadings for structure
✓ Heading 3 — Smaller sub-sections
✓ Bullet List — For general item lists
✓ Numbered List — For ordered steps

✓ Blockquote — For highlighting text or key statements
✓ Code Block — Display formatted code or technical notes
✓ Table — Add simple structured tables
✓ Horizontal Rule — Divider line between sections

Formatting Options #

The OneSuite editor includes all the essential formatting tools you need to make your documents look clean, professional, and easy to read.

Use the toolbar at the top of the editor to apply standard text formatting:

✓ Headings: Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3

Lists

Add different types of lists to structure your content:

✓ Bullet List: For grouped items
✓ Numbered List: For steps or sequences

Quotes and Dividers

✓ Horizontal Rule (Divider): Visually separate sections of your document

Links

✓ Insert Link: Highlight any text, click the link icon, and paste the URL

Other Options #

In addition to writing and formatting your document, OneSuite provides helpful tools for version control, export, and record-keeping.

This saves a PDF version of the current document — whether it’s a draft or signed copy.

You’ll see who created, edited, shared, viewed, or signed the document—helpful for compliance and internal review.
