Publish and control notes

Jot accepts Markdown. A temporary note needs no account. A member site needs an invitation.

Publish a temporary note

1. Open the quick publish form.
2. Enter your Markdown.
3. Select an expiration time.
4. Select publish temporary note.

Jot returns a public URL. Anyone with the URL can read the note until it expires. Expiration stops public access. Stored copies can remain for a limited time. The temporary note form accepts up to 100 KB of Markdown. The maximum expiration is seven days.

If you later sign in with the same browser, the note page can offer a way to claim that note for your account. Claiming removes its expiration and saves a managed revision. The claim depends on the browser cookie set when you published the note.

Publish a member note

1. Sign in with your email code.
2. Open notes.
3. Create a note or open an existing note.
4. Set the publication and access controls.
5. Save the note.
6. Examine the saved state and URL.

A draft is not public. A published, listed note can appear on your site and in feeds. An unlisted note does not appear in listings. Anyone with its URL can still read it.

A note password protects one note. A private site asks invited readers for an email code. An expiration time stops public access after that time. No expiration time is not a storage guarantee.

For MCP publishing, send the title, Markdown body, collection, and tags as separate fields. Keep the title out of the Markdown body. See the MCP manual.

Jot records revisions of managed notes. A moved note can keep its old URL through a redirect. For recovery, read Recover a note. For the editor, bulk actions, tags, and collections, read Manage notes.

See the operation reference for other ways to publish and manage notes.
