Pourquoi faire confiance à ce guide ?
I have run AFFiNE Pro as my daily application de prise de notes for eight months, on both desktop and mobile.
Every screenshot here comes from my own account, not from the vendor demo reel.
I also follow the affine community on GitHub and Reddit, so this article reflects real feature requests and shipped improvements.
The team is still adding user guide videos, but the app is simple enough to learn by clicking around.

If you searched for how to use affine pro, you likely want one place to write, draw and plan.
That is exactly what this all in one workspace does.
AFFiNE is local first and privacy focused, so your données sits on your own device before it ever touches the cloud.
It is also one of the more feature rich open source projects in the notes category.
Most people only ever open page mode and stop there.
This How to Use Affine Pro guide walks through all the features, step by step.
Tutoriel AFFiNE Pro
This AFFiNE Pro tutorial moves from a blank account to advanced canvas work, one short step at a time.

AFFiNE Pro
Docs, whiteboard and databases in one hyper fused platform. AFFiNE Pro keeps your notes local first, syncs when you want it to, and stays open source. Start free, upgrade only when you need cloud storage.
Premiers pas avec AFFiNE Pro
Setup takes about three minutes and you only do it once.
Here is how the first session went for me:

Passons maintenant en revue chaque étape.
Étape 1 : Créez votre compte
Open app.affine.pro in your browser to try AFFiNE online first.
Click Sign up, then enter your email and a password.

✓ Point de contrôle: Vérifiez votre boîte de réception pour l'e-mail de confirmation.
Step 2: Create Your First Workspace
Click the workspace name in the top left corner.
Choose Create workspace, then decide whether to enable AFFiNE Cloud.
Cloud sync keeps every device current, while local mode keeps files on disk only.
✓ Point de contrôle: The new workspace loads with sample pages already inside.
Step 3: Explore the Preloaded Content
AFFiNE preloads a short tour so new users see the core functionality immediately.
Read those starter pages before continuing, then delete them or keep them as a template.
If something breaks, the docs and support links sit under the Help menu.
✅ Terminé : Vous êtes prêt à utiliser n'importe quelle fonctionnalité ci-dessous.

Conseils et raccourcis pour AFFiNE Pro
After eight months of daily use, these are the habits that saved me the most time.
You can also customize the theme, font and sidebar layout from Settings.
Raccourcis clavier

|---|---|
| Recherche rapide | Ctrl + K |
| New doc | Ctrl + N |
| Toggle page and edgeless mode | Alt + S |
| Open the block menu | / (barre oblique) |
Here are the benefits that show up once those shortcuts become muscle memory:

Fonctionnalités cachées que la plupart des gens ignorent
- Self host AFFiNE: the Community Edition is free under the MIT license, and Docker gets you a feature rich build on your own hardware.
- Ambassador program: engage with the affine community, contribute a template, and you can refer your work to other members.
- Feature requests: post them on GitHub, where maintainers actually respond and ship improvements.
- Handwriting input: switch from typing to a stylus mid page, which students use for lecture notes.
AFFiNE Pro : Erreurs courantes à éviter
Mistake #1: Treating It Like Notion Seulement
❌ Faux : Staying in page mode forever and ignoring the canvas half of the app.
✅ À droite : Switch modes on the same doc so one file holds both your writing and your diagrams.
Mistake #2: Skipping the Local First Setup
❌ Faux : Turning on cloud sync for everything, including private research you never wanted online.
✅ À droite : Keep sensitive workspaces offline on one device and sync only shared projects.
Mistake #3: Overloading a Single Canvas
❌ Faux : Dumping every project onto one board until clutter starts to mar your focus.
✅ À droite : Split work across frames and collections, then cancel the boards you no longer need.
Dépannage d'AFFiNE Pro
Problem: Changes Do Not Sync Between Appareils
Cause: The workspace was created in local mode, so it never had a cloud connection.
Réparer: Open workspace settings and enable AFFiNE Cloud, then wait for the first upload to finish.
Problem: AI Actions Return an Error
Cause: Free accounts have a monthly AI credit cap.
Réparer: Check your usage in Settings, then upgrade or wait for the reset date.
Problem: The App Feels Slow on a Large Canvas
Cause: Hundreds of images on one board strain the renderer.
Réparer: Move older material into a second doc and clear cached data from Settings.
📌 Note: If none of these help, refer to the official docs or contact AFFiNE support directly.
