Use ClickUp Docs on Mobile
ClickUp makes it easy to create, edit, and share Docs directly from your mobile device so you can capture ideas, document work, and collaborate with your team from anywhere.
This guide walks through how to use Docs on the mobile app, including creating new Docs, formatting content, collaborating with your team, and working offline.
Access ClickUp Docs on mobile
You can open and manage Docs in the mobile app using the Mobile Docs Home and other navigation options.

From here you can browse recent Docs, search by name, and open any Doc with a single tap.
Navigate to Docs from other areas of ClickUp
You can also reach Docs from several other places in the app:
- Tap on a task that has a Doc attached or created from within the task.
- Open a Space, Folder, or List that contains a Doc and tap the Doc name.
- Use search to look up a specific Doc by title or keyword.
Once opened, Docs provide a focused editor optimized for mobile use.

This Doc remains connected to the task, making it easy for your team to find project details.
Format and organize Docs in ClickUp
The mobile editor supports rich text formatting and organizational tools to keep information clear and readable.
Use rich text formatting in ClickUp Docs
Apply formatting to make important details stand out.
- Select any text to open the formatting toolbar.
- Choose from options like bold, italics, underline, and headings.
- Create bulleted or numbered lists to structure information.
- Insert horizontal lines to divide sections in longer Docs.
These tools help keep content scannable and easy to follow on smaller screens.
Insert lists, dividers, and quotes
Organize content using simple elements:
- Bulleted lists: Great for overviews, notes, and short items.
- Numbered lists: Ideal for step-by-step instructions and processes.
- Dividers: Add horizontal lines to break up sections.
- Quotes: Highlight key statements or reference text from other sources.
These formatting options mirror the behavior you expect from Docs on larger screens, adapted for the mobile layout.
Collaborate in ClickUp Docs on mobile
Docs in the app support collaboration so teams can work together even when they are away from their computers.
Mention people, tasks, and Docs in ClickUp
Mentions help connect content to people and work items throughout your Workspace.
- Type @ followed by a teammate’s name to mention them.
- Type @ and search for a task name to link a task.
- Type @ and search for another Doc title to reference it.
Mentions create links and notify the right people so they can jump directly into the relevant context.

- Open the Doc you want to share.
- Tap the sharing or permissions icon.
- Select the people, teams, or guests who should have access.

Shared Docs keep everyone aligned on the latest information without leaving the mobile experience.

Search and filter Docs in ClickUp
Use search to quickly find the Doc you need.

- Choose to rename the Doc and enter a new title.

Consistent naming and organization practices make it easier for your entire team to navigate Docs on any device.
Use ClickUp Docs offline on mobile
You can continue working on content even without an internet connection, and your updates will sync once you are back online.
Prepare ClickUp Docs for offline use
To make sure you can access important documentation when offline:
- Open key Docs while you have a connection so they are cached on your device.
- Keep the app installed and logged in on your phone or tablet.
- Avoid logging out before going offline so your content remains available.
Some actions may be limited without a connection, but you can typically read cached Docs and, in many cases, continue editing.
Sync offline changes in ClickUp
When your device reconnects:
- Open the ClickUp mobile app.
- Allow the app a moment to sync updates.
- Confirm that changes you made to Docs appear correctly.
Sync behavior may vary based on your connection quality and the size of your Docs, but the app is designed to keep your content up to date.
