Introduction

Scribe is a writing and publishing tool built for the open web. You write and organise your content in Scribe CMS, and it becomes available to any website you or a developer sets up to display it.

Your content is stored in your own account — you own it. If you stop using Scribe tomorrow, your writing doesn’t disappear with it.

Write articles

Compose long-form content with a rich text editor. Add images, format headings, lists, quotes, and code blocks.

Organise into sites and groups

Create one or more sites — one per domain — then organise your articles into groups (sections or categories) within each site.

Control what's published

Articles move through three states: Draft → Unpublished → Published. You control when something goes live.

Power multiple websites

One Scribe account can serve multiple websites simultaneously. A developer installs the Scribe SDK on each site and it reads from your account.

If you’re new to Scribe, start with The Content Model to understand how Sites, Groups, and Articles fit together. Then follow Getting Started to set up your first site and publish your first article.

If you already have a site set up and want to do more with it, go straight to Managing Your Site.

If you want to display your content on a website but aren’t a developer yourself, see Using a Website — it explains what to ask a developer for and what they’ll need from you.
