Installing Nova is designed to be quick and easy across all your favorite platforms. Whether you use a Windows computer or an iOS device, discover the steps to set up your workspace in minutes.

Installation

Access via Web Browser

Simply go to the official Nova website from any modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. No installation is necessary; you access your online workspace directly.

Installation on Windows

Download the dedicated software from the official website to enjoy a native application on your computer. Installation is quick and generally does not require any special administrator rights.

Installation on iOS (PWA)

Open the Nova site in your Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad. Then tap the 'Share' button and select 'Add to Home Screen' to add the app icon.

Initial Configuration

Launch the application or open the web interface to set up your personal account. You can then choose your preferences and start creating your first workspace.

Device Synchronization

Log in with the same account on all your devices to enable real-time synchronization. Your data will then be shared seamlessly between Windows, iOS, and the Web.

Checking Offline Access

Once the application is open and your data loaded, you can test offline access by cutting your internet connection. You will notice that you can continue editing your notes and that they will automatically synchronize upon reconnection.

Usage Guide

Organizing Your Workspace

Structuring your notes is essential to staying productive on Nova. Use folders and subfolders to classify your ideas by topic or project. Do not hesitate to experiment with rich formatting to air out your documents.

Real-Time Collaboration

Inviting collaborators turns your personal space into a dynamic sharing hub. Share your workspaces via dedicated options to allow your friends or colleagues to contribute. Changes appear live, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Mastering Offline Mode

Nova's offline mode is automatic: as soon as you work without a connection, the application saves your changes locally. Once the internet connection is restored, the tool synchronizes these changes with your other devices. This guarantees you never lose an idea while on the go.

Using Checklists

Dynamic checklists are perfect for managing your daily tasks and tracking project progress. You can create sublists to detail each step of a broader goal. Check off items as you go to visualize your progress instantly.

Multi-Platform Optimization

For maximum efficiency, keep the application open on your main work tools, whether it's your Windows PC or your iOS device. This practice ensures your most recent notes are always accessible, wherever you are. The synchronized ecosystem is designed to adapt to your pace, not the other way around.

Boost your productivity with these practical tips designed to get the most out of Nova. These practical pieces of advice will help you organize your daily life more smoothly and intuitively.

Tips

Customize Your Space

Don't just take notes, structure your space according to your precise needs using lists and content blocks. Proper organization is the key to boosting your daily productivity.

Synchronize Before Traveling

Before heading into an internet-free zone, make sure to open Nova on all your devices so that content is properly cached. This will ensure all your latest notes are available offline.

Share by Project

Rather than sharing your entire account, create specific workspaces for each collaborative project. This keeps your personal notes confidential while allowing you to work effectively with colleagues.

Leverage Checklists

Use checklists not only for your tasks, but also for your grocery lists or gift ideas. It's a very versatile tool to clear your mind of all your minor concerns.

Use Shortcuts

If you use Nova on Windows, familiarize yourself with navigation shortcuts to save time. Although simple, they allow for faster handling of your long notes.

Manage Your Notifications

To stay focused, learn to manage notifications for your shared spaces. You can choose to be alerted only for important changes so you aren't interrupted in your work.

Clean Up Your Spaces Regularly

Make a habit of deleting or archiving notes you no longer need. A clutter-free workspace contributes to better mental clarity and more efficient document searches.

Train Your Collaborators

If you work in a team, take a few minutes to show the basics of Nova to your collaborators. A common understanding of the tool will greatly facilitate the flow of your exchanges and collaboration.

Are you experiencing difficulties with Nova? This troubleshooting section helps you resolve common issues related to synchronization, installation, or the daily use of the application.

Troubleshooting

⚠️ Synchronization does not seem to work.

First check your internet connection. If it is active, try logging out and logging back into your account to force a new sync.

⚠️ The application does not open on Windows.

Try closing the application completely via the task manager, then relaunch it. If the problem persists, check that no pending updates are required.

⚠️ Offline modifications are not taken into account.

Make sure you have successfully re-established a stable internet connection. Leave the application open for a few moments so it can detect the reconnection and launch automatic synchronization.

⚠️ The iOS application (PWA) does not display correctly.

Clear your Safari browser cache on your iOS device, then try deleting and re-adding the shortcut to your home screen.

⚠️ Unable to invite a collaborator.

Check that your collaborator's email address or username is correct. Also make sure you have the necessary permissions in the relevant workspace to add members.

⚠️ Note content is empty after synchronization.

A synchronization conflict may have occurred if two people edited the same note simultaneously. Check the previous version if history is available or refresh the application.

⚠️ The web interface is slow.

Clear your web browser cache and close unnecessary tabs consuming memory. An unstable internet connection can also slow down interface loading.

⚠️ Text formatting issue.

If formatting does not display correctly, copy the content into a plain text editor, then paste it back into Nova to reset styles. This usually resolves formatting conflicts.
