Sotolane — documentation your readers can actually follow

Presentable on day one

Pages that survive a brand review. Restyle any surface you like. Embed the things you already ship, and rework a layout without leaving the writing pane.

Layout blocks

Use layout blocks to shape a long page into something readable.

Notice strips

Notice strips pull a reader's eye to the part of a page that matters most. To add one, type "! " (exclamation mark followed by a space) or pick 'Notice strip' from the / insert menu.

This is the kind of aside a reader should not scroll straight past Open guide →

Figure blocks

Start here to see how a figure behaves at every breakpoint.

Edit alongside your team

Draft together in the moment, or leave notes for later. Sotolane assumes more than one author.
