Files in Living Spec
Living Spec’s Files feature helps you efficiently access, manage, and cross-reference files within the context of your spec.
Selected audio and image files can be previewed directly within a page, and audio and video files can be transcribed to text automatically.
Cross-Reference Your Files
Link files for clarity and streamlined reuse within a document tree
Cross-referencing files in Living Spec maintain an organized Spec document tree, ensuring a user-friendly document management experience. It prevents the risk of overlooking crucial project details, duplicating files, or unintentionally sharing different versions of the same file.
Simply mention files, as you would with pages and tasks, by typing # followed by the file's name in the Document Tree. This enables easy navigation between related files without needing to look elsewhere for related files.
Manage Files in your Spec
Insert, Remove, Replace, and Tag Files
Explore Living Spec's range of file upload methods available to suit your preferences. Add various file types, up to 50MB each, such as images, PDFs, MP3s, videos, and more, via:
- Drag and drop
- Copy and paste from your local or online file system
- Press the New button and choose file
- Attach files via email parsing for seamless integration
Enrich the context within your document by providing additional details such as descriptions, tags, and creation information.
When things change, you can also easily replace or get rid of files from a page or Spec using the backspace key or 'Remove' from the chip dropdown, keeping the file preserved. Save valuable time by updating a file once, automatically applying changes across all linked instances. Achieve document-wide consistency and accuracy with a single tweak across hundreds or thousands of sections.
Maximize Your File Previews
Small yet impactful visual and auditory aid
