How to add a Doc
There are multiple ways to add Docs in ClickUp! Docs can either be attached to a location (List, Folder, Space, Workspace) or they can be on their own.
Option 1: Docs Home
Docs Home is located on your lefthand sidebar. Here, any new Doc you create will be private by default and not attached to any location.
However, you can customize sharing to share with individual people, or you can attach your Docs to views.
When you choose to attach Docs to views, sharing is inherited from that view. For example, if a List has 5 people in it, then your Doc attached to that List will also have those same 5 people.
Note: Free plans can only create Docs that are attached to views.
Docs are organized here by category:
- All Prop hunt gmod.
- Assigned to me: you have unresolved assigned comments
- Shared: you and other people have access
- Private: personal Docs managed by you
To add a new Doc from your Doc Home
- Click
+ Add New
- A modal will reveal a new doc for you to start working on!
Option 2: Doc View
When you're on any List, Space, or Folder level in your Workspace, you can create a Doc view. Doing this will always attach that Doc to the view on that specific level of the hierarchy.
- Click the

Page Views
- Select
Doc
Docs added to views will always inherit sharing from the location that it's attached to.
