Schemas

All Docly documents refer a document schema. The schema defines the structure and editor for a document. There are builtin schemas and you can create custom schemas.

Docly has a builtin library of document schemas you can use and customize.

In Docly there are no files on a disk. Every file is a row in a database, its content is JSON, and its type is decided by a named schema. The file extension you see in the Drive is not stored — it is derived from the schema, following one simple rule: the extension tells you the content format.

Creating your own custom document schemas in Docly. Either code it with HTML, JS and CSS or use our builtin designer - which also allows you code.

Check out some of our examples on how making document and folder schemas.
