FAQ

How do I delete a tree?
Right click on the tree name in the left-sidebar, and then click "Delete Tree"
How do I insert images?
At the moment, you'll have to insert them manually by providing a URL, like this:
![](https://example.com/link/to/image.png)
To get a link like that from a DropBox image, for example, you need to create a link and the add ?raw=1 to the end of it (otherwise you're linking to a preview page, rather than the image itself):
![](https://www.dropbox.com/s/abc123/example.png?raw=1)
Sorry, I know it's a lot of steps at the moment!
How do I hide things from print & export?
Use <!-- and -->. Everything between those two symbols in any card will be hidden when you print/export.
How do I invite collaborators to my documents?
Gingko Writer doesn't support collaboration yet. If this is a needed feature, you can still use the legacy https://gingkoapp.com version for collaboration and tree-sharing.
I am looking forward to adding collaboration to Gingko Writer, but I don't have an estimate on how long it'll take me. I won't disable the old version until well after collaboration is added to the new one though.
LaTeX support : is it available?
Gingko Writer doesn't support LaTeX yet. If this is a needed feature, you can still use the legacy https://gingkoapp.com version for LaTeX documents.
I am looking forward to adding LaTeX to Gingko Writer, but I don't have an estimate on how long it'll take me. I won't disable the old version until well after it's is added to the new one though.
How do I make my own custom templates?
Simply right-click on the tree you want to use as a template, and then click "Duplicate Tree":
Why is my text doubled when I save?
If you're using Grammarly, then you may experience doubled-up text in Gingko Writer. This issue comes and goes with different versions of Grammarly, so if it's happening to you, you might have to disable Grammarly on gingkowriter.com for a time, by following these instructions:
Turn off Grammarly on one or more websites
