Each trash row gets a checkbox, a toolbar above the list offers "select all" (native indeterminate for partial selections) and the two bulk actions; bulk purge confirms with the selection count (pluralized). Processing is sequential on purpose — purge promotes leftover children (#107), so concurrent tree mutations would race. Failures don't strand the rest: the loop keeps going, failed pages stay selected for a retry, and an alert banner reports the count. Single-row actions run through the same path, which also fixes their previously unhandled rejection.

# User guide
|
||
|
||
_Deutsche Fassung: [docs/de/manual/user-guide.md](../de/manual/user-guide.md)_
|
||
|
||
How to find your way around Dorfteich as a regular member. For pond
|
||
configuration see the [pond-admin guide](pond-admin-guide.md); for
|
||
instance administration the [site-admin guide](site-admin-guide.md).
|
||
|
||
## Signing up and signing in
|
||
|
||
- **Sign up** (if the instance allows open registration): username,
|
||
e-mail, display name, password, language. You confirm your e-mail via
|
||
the link in the verification mail; that also creates your **personal
|
||
pond** — your own space that only you can see until you share it.
|
||
- **Sign in** with username _or_ e-mail. Forgot your password? The
|
||
sign-in page has a reset link (requires the instance to have mail
|
||
configured).
|
||
- Your sessions are listed under **Settings → Sessions**; you can revoke
|
||
any device from there.
|
||
|
||
## Ponds and pages
|
||
|
||
- The **pond switcher** in the top bar moves you between the ponds you
|
||
can see — and **"+ New pond"** at its bottom creates a new shared pond
|
||
(subject to a quota the site admin sets). The **sidebar** lists the pages of the current pond — sort
|
||
them A–Z, by creation date, or drag them into a manual order (the sort
|
||
mode is a pond setting).
|
||
- **+ New page** at the bottom of the sidebar creates a page. Page
|
||
addresses are readable: `/p/<pond>/<page>`.
|
||
- **Pages form a tree.** A page created while another page is open
|
||
becomes its subpage (the form says so); pages nest up to six levels.
|
||
The sidebar's **folder view** shows the tree with collapsible
|
||
branches; the **label view** groups pages under the label tree
|
||
instead. The toggle above the page list is yours alone — the pond
|
||
owner only sets the default. Moving a page never changes its address,
|
||
so links keep working.
|
||
- **Moving pages:** drag a page onto another one to nest it there
|
||
(drag between pages to reorder within the level, in manual sort
|
||
mode), or use **… → Move to…** for a picker that works in any sort
|
||
mode. Deleting a page that has subpages asks what should happen:
|
||
move them up one level, or trash the whole subtree together.
|
||
- The **graph** link at the bottom of the sidebar opens the pond's
|
||
**knowledge graph**: pages as dots, wikilinks as lines — click a dot
|
||
to open the page, drag to rearrange, scroll to zoom. Dashed dots are
|
||
wikilink targets that do not exist yet; clicking one creates the
|
||
page. Below each page (read mode) a **local graph** shows its own
|
||
neighborhood, switchable between one and two hops.
|
||
- The **trash** link sits at the very bottom of the sidebar: deleted
|
||
pages can be restored from there until the retention period ends.
|
||
A restored page re-attaches to its nearest surviving parent, or to
|
||
the top level when the whole branch is gone. Checkboxes let you
|
||
select several pages (or **select all**) and restore or permanently
|
||
delete them with one click.
|
||
|
||
## The editor
|
||
|
||
Click the **pencil icon** in the top bar to switch a page between
|
||
reading and editing. In edit mode a toolbar offers paragraph styles
|
||
(H1–H4), bold/italic/strikethrough/inline code, bullet/numbered/task
|
||
lists, quotes, code blocks, horizontal rules, images, and tables. The
|
||
toolbar stays visible while you scroll.
|
||
|
||
- **Everyone edits together.** Other people on the page appear in the
|
||
presence strip in the top bar and as named cursors in the text.
|
||
There is no save button for content — every keystroke is persisted and
|
||
replicated live.
|
||
- **Offline?** The status icon in the footer (bottom left) shows your
|
||
connection. You can keep typing offline; changes sync on reconnect.
|
||
- **Markdown in, Markdown out.** You can paste or type Markdown; the
|
||
page can always be copied or downloaded as Markdown again (**…**
|
||
overflow menu → Copy/Download Markdown).
|
||
- **Wikilinks:** type `[[page-slug]]` or `[[page-slug|shown text]]`.
|
||
Links to pages that do not exist yet are listed on the pond home page
|
||
("phantom pages") — one click creates the target. Following such a link
|
||
works too: the page opens with a "this page does not exist yet" notice
|
||
and a button that **creates it right there**, and every link pointing at
|
||
the address starts working. The **backlinks** panel of a page shows
|
||
every page that links to it.
|
||
- **Images and attachments:** paste or drag images straight into the
|
||
text. Other file types (PDFs etc., as allowed by the instance) attach
|
||
to the page via the **paperclip icon**.
|
||
- **Named versions:** the **save icon** in edit mode stores a named
|
||
snapshot ("before the big rewrite"); `Ctrl/Cmd+S` stores an unnamed
|
||
one, `Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S` asks for a name — a short toast confirms every
|
||
save. The **history icon** lists all versions — automatic and named —
|
||
with their contributors; you can view any version and restore it.
|
||
Restoring never deletes history.
|
||
|
||
## The top-bar page actions
|
||
|
||
When a page is open you find, next to the pencil: **watch** (bell for
|
||
this page), **comments** (with unread count), **attachments**,
|
||
**plugin tools** (table of contents, page index — when enabled),
|
||
**labels**, **history**, and the **…** overflow menu (copy/download
|
||
Markdown, export to Word/LibreOffice/PDF, move to…, delete).
|
||
|
||
## Labels
|
||
|
||
Open the **label icon** to tag the page. You can pick existing labels or
|
||
create one on the spot (creating is for pond admins). Labels organize
|
||
pages and can carry access rules — a page inherits every rule of its
|
||
labels.
|
||
|
||
## Search
|
||
|
||
The search field in the top bar searches every page you are allowed to
|
||
read, across all ponds — tolerant of accents ("Baume" finds "Bäume") and
|
||
of partial words. Recent searches are remembered (and can be cleared).
|
||
|
||
## Comments
|
||
|
||
The **speech-bubble icon** opens the comment panel: threads with one
|
||
reply level, Markdown supported, edit and delete for your own comments,
|
||
**resolve** to fold finished discussions away. Whether every reader or
|
||
only editors may comment is a pond setting.
|
||
|
||
## Watches, notifications, digests
|
||
|
||
- **Watch** a page (bell in the page actions) or a whole pond (bell in
|
||
the pond settings header) to be notified about changes and comments.
|
||
By default you automatically watch pages you create or comment on —
|
||
both switches live under **Settings → Profile**.
|
||
- The **bell in the top bar** is your notification inbox; entries link
|
||
straight to the change (comment notifications open the panel).
|
||
- **E-mail digests** bundle unread notifications hourly or daily —
|
||
configure under Settings, unsubscribe from any digest mail directly.
|
||
|
||
## Import and export
|
||
|
||
- **Import a document** (sidebar link): `.docx`, `.odt`, or `.md`
|
||
becomes a new page, embedded images included.
|
||
- **Export a page**: overflow menu → Markdown / Word / LibreOffice /
|
||
PDF. **Export a pond**: pond settings → ZIP of all pages you may read,
|
||
as Markdown plus media.
|
||
|
||
## Your settings (top-right → Settings)
|
||
|
||
Profile (display name, e-mail, language, watch defaults, digest
|
||
frequency), password, active sessions, your watches, **API tokens** (for
|
||
scripts and AI assistants — see the [API guide](api-guide.md) and
|
||
[MCP guide](mcp-guide.md)), and **data export**: a ZIP with your profile
|
||
data and the full content of your own ponds.
|
||
|
||
## Public pages
|
||
|
||
If a pond admin has published a page for the public, it is readable
|
||
without an account at `/public/<pond>/<page>` — with the pond's
|
||
typography and a link to the instance's legal pages.
