Web Editor quickstart

The Web Editor creates and edits individual .eidos files in your browser. It uses the same Runtime and editor UI as Lite and CLI Serve. It does not require software installation or an account. To work with a folder of notes and other files, use Eidos Lite.

1. Open editor.eidos.space.

2. Select Open .eidos file or drag a local file onto the start screen. To begin from scratch, select New blank Eidos File. Try a sample opens a small table with three editable records.

3. Add records, fields, tables, or views. Double-click a Grid cell or press Enter to edit it.

4. Select Save to update the local file directly. If your browser does not support writable file handles, select Save As or Download a copy.

Know which copy you are editing

Chromium browsers can write changes directly back to your local file after you grant permission. Other browsers import a temporary working copy and require you to download changes. The titlebar shows the current save state.

What stays local

Your file data, SQLite queries, and edits remain on your local device. The editor keeps a private recovery copy in the browser for unsaved work where supported. This recovery copy does not replace saving or backing up your .eidos file.

Continue with Eidos File basics or Data location and safety.
