  1. Can I embed images in my notebooks?

    Yes. You can embed images in notebooks by clicking the insert image icon on the notebook editor.

    All images (for the moment) need to be entered using a full URL. If you have SSL turned on and embed an external image you might see browser security errors showing in your account. Try and make sure all images are also from an SSL enabled source if you are using SSL on your Teamwork Project Manager account.

  2. Can I download my Notebook as a PDF?

    Yes. We offer 2 export options for your notebooks:

    • PDF download
    • HTML File download

    You can click the Download Notebook button when viewing a notebook and choose the format you want to export as.

  3. What are Notebooks?

    Notebooks are documents where you can write formatted content on a project. 

    You can use Notebooks to keep notes on a project, store login details or project information.

    The Notebooks feature works like a simple Word Processor. It is not intended to contain user pasted HTML code or as a HTML Editor replacement.

    If you need to upload your own HTML styled documents, you may be better to upload them as HTML files in the Files section of your Teamwork project.

  4. Can Notebooks be added/edited on iOS devices?

    If a user connects to Teamwork using an iPod, iPhone or iPad and is running iOS 5 Beta or greater, they can add or edit Notebooks.

    iOS versions before Version 5 Beta did not support WYSIWYG editing and so the Add and Edit buttons are not available.

    Notebooks can be viewed on all iOS devices.

    Note:

    iOS 5 is currently in beta and not released to the public yet.

  5. Can I compare Notebook versions?

    Yes. If you select 2 versions from the Version list on the View Notebook page you will be able to compare them.

    We will display a Notebook with the changes highlighted.

    This is useful to see what changes were made between various notebook versions.

  6. Can I lock a notebook while I'm editing it?

    Yes. When you lock a notebook only you can edit it until you unlock it again.

    Note:

    An Administrator or Project Administrator can unlock any notebook at anytime

  7. Who can edit/delete notebooks?

    Administrators or Project Administrators can edit or delete any notebook.

    If the user is not an Administrator, they can only delete notebooks which they have added themselves.

    Only Administrators, Project Administrators and people with Can Add Notebooks permission can edit the contents of a notebook.

  8. Who can create/edit/delete notebook categories?

    Project Administrators or Administrators can Add/Edit/Delete notebook categories.

    If a non-administrator is creating a Notebook and a Notebook Category does not yet exist, this user can create a category only at this point.

  9. Can I move a notebook from one project to another?

    Yes. If you are a Project Administrator or Administrator, you can move a Notebook and all versions to another project.

    To move the notebook, click the notebook title so you are in the View Notebook page and click Options on the right. Choose Move Notebook from the options menu.
