Where your work lives

Studies and sketches live on Commonscience. The public commons is open to anyone. A private registry holds what is yours. GUIDE is the notebook you open them in.

Studies

A study holds one piece of research, start to finish

Something with a URL you can share and open in GUIDE. History is kept as checkpoints. Models, specimens, files and observations stay attached to the study that gave them meaning. A few public examples are live in the Commons.

Sketches

Lighter work you make in Composer

Sketches are exploratory and spatial — methods, structures, notes that stay entity-aware. Composer is the product where you make them. Open a sketch inside GUIDE next to a study, or think on the board alone.

Public Commons pages stay readable without an account. When you want to continue the work, sign in to GUIDE and open the study — or fork a snapshot into your private registry.
