You'll notice when you open up a Bit document that you won't see the traditional ribbon bar on top with formatting options like you do with Google Docs and Word. The main reason we have eliminated it is to make creating beautiful documents easy and remove design complexity so that you can focus on collaborating, sharing knowledge, working through ideas, creating content internally/externally, etc.
💡BIT TIP: Don't be intimidated by keyboard shortcuts. They are...
Easy to learn
Fun to play with
You'll be able to do more with your smart documents!
...and we promise they will make your Bit life even more beautiful.
