Editor overview

An Object page combines structured properties with an optional block-based body. The Type decides whether a body is available and how the page is arranged.

A real Book Object in Lar showing its Type, tags, typed properties, and document surface.
An Object combines a structured header with an optional body; the Type decides which properties appear.
  • The header holds the Object identity, Type controls, page actions, and customization options.
  • The property area shows typed fields and relations according to the Type’s page layout.
  • The body contains paragraphs, lists, media, embeds, tables, and other blocks.
  • The details and side-panel surfaces provide outline, backlinks, unlinked mentions, comments, versions, related content, and other context without replacing the Object.

Lar saves automatically on your device. The save-state indicator communicates persistence status; you do not need a manual Save command for ordinary edits.

Select the body and type. Press / at an empty text position to open the slash menu. Use the block drag handle or action menu to rearrange and transform blocks.

Inline additions include:

  • [[Object]] for an Object link;
  • ![[Object]] for transcluded content;
  • the block-reference action for a link to one specific block; and
  • #tag for a Tag Object.

Page mode is a linear document. Edgeless mode is a spatial canvas. The mode is stored per body, so switching one Object does not change the others. Open the Object’s More menu to select a mode, or use the configured editor shortcut.

The side panel can keep related Objects, queries, or AI chat alongside the current page. Browser-style tabs keep several Objects open, while focus mode hides surrounding navigation for concentrated reading and writing.
