Slash commands
The Slash command lies at the heart of what makes Colabra unique.
To start, type “/” in your project or experiment summary. This will open a list that allow you to insert content blocks from simple headers, to advanced integrations.

You can use slash commands to insert:
- headers
- bullet, numbered and to-do lists
- images
- tables
- code blocks
- Protocols and recipes
- Links to other experiments
- LaTeX equations
- DNA sequences
- Molecular structures
- Microscope images
- Lab inventory/equipment
- Collaborator mentions
- Excel, Word and PowerPoint documents
- Any other kind of file
The Slash command is how we keep the product lightweight and intuitive, even after we’ve begun to add more blocks and third-party integrations.
If there is a block or integration that you would find useful, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
