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!
