Craft Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After testing Craft for over 12 months, here are my best tips.
Skróty klawiaturowe
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Create new document | Cmd+N (Mac) / Ctrl+N (Win) |
| Open AI Assistant | Cmd+Return (Mac) / Ctrl+Enter (Win) |
| Open block menu | / (forward slash) |
| Link to another page | @ (at symbol) |
| Search your Space | Cmd+Shift+F (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+F (Win) |
| Bold text | Cmd+B (Mac) / Ctrl+B (Win) |
Hidden Features Most People Miss
- On-Device AI: Download DeepSeek R1 or Llama models in settings. They run locally with zero internet needed and don’t use AI credits.
- Web Publishing: Share any document as a public web page with one click. Great for portfolios, wikis, or blog posts.
- Tags with Hierarchy: Type # to add tags. Use nested tags like #project/client to create organized categories across your Space.
Craft Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Treating Craft Like a Database
❌ Wrong: Trying to build complex databases and spreadsheets inside Craft like you would in Notion.
✅ Right: Use Craft for documents, notes, and writing. Use a dedicated tool for database needs.
Mistake #2: Ignoring Backlinks
❌ Wrong: Creating hundreds of notes without linking them to each other.
✅ Right: Use @ to link related notes as you write. Your knowledge base grows stronger with each link.
Mistake #3: Not Using the AI Assistant
❌ Wrong: Manually searching through hundreds of notes to find a specific piece of information.
✅ Right: Ask the AI Assistant to find, summarize, or rewrite anything in your Space. It searches by meaning.
Craft Troubleshooting
Problem: Documents Not Syncing Across Devices
Cause: Weak internet connection or outdated app version on one device.
Naprawić: Update Craft to the latest version on all devices. Check your internet connection and restart the app.
Problem: AI Assistant Not Responding
Cause: You’ve run out of AI credits or the cloud model is temporarily unavailable.
Naprawić: Check your credit balance in settings. Switch to an on-device model like DeepSeek R1 for offline use.
Problem: Shared Document Permissions Not Working
Cause: The collaborator’s email doesn’t match their Craft account.
Naprawić: Confirm the exact email tied to their Craft account. Resend the invite to the correct address.
📌 Notatka: If none of these fix your issue, contact Craft support at support.craft.do.
