# Create files and folders
The file explorer is accessible using the button in left corner of the navigation bar. You can create a new file by clicking the *New file* button in the file explorer. You can also create folders by clicking the *New folder* button.
# Delete a file
You can delete the current file by clicking the *Remove* button in the file explorer. The file will be moved into the *Trash* folder and automatically deleted after 7 days of inactivity.
# Synchronization
Synchronization is one of the biggest features of StackEdit. It enables you to synchronize any file in your workspace with other files stored in your *Google Drive*, your *Dropbox* and your *GitHub* accounts. This allows you to keep writing on other devices, collaborate with people you share the file with, integrate easily into your workflow... The synchronization mechanism takes place every minute in the background, downloading, merging, and uploading file modifications.
There are two types of synchronization and they can complement each other:
- The workspace synchronization will sync all your files, folders and settings automatically. This will allow you to fetch your workspace on any other device.
> To start syncing your workspace, just sign in with Google in the menu.
- The file synchronization will keep one file of the workspace synced with one or multiple files in *Google Drive*, *Dropbox* or *GitHub*.
> Before starting to sync files, you must link an account in the *Synchronize* sub-menu.
# Open a file
You can open a file from *Google Drive*, *Dropbox* or *GitHub* by opening the *Synchronize* sub-menu and clicking *Open from*. Once opened in the workspace, any modification in the file will be automatically synced.
# Save a file
You can save any file of the workspace to *Google Drive*, *Dropbox* or *GitHub* by opening the *Synchronize* sub-menu and clicking *Save on*.
# Synchronize a file
If you just have modified your file and you want to force syncing, click the *Synchronize now* button in the navigation bar.
> *Note:* The *Synchronize now* button is disabled if you have no file to synchronize.
# Manage file synchronization
Since one file can be synced with multiple locations, you can list and manage synchronized locations by clicking *File synchronization* in the *Synchronize* sub-menu. This allows you to list and remove synchronized locations that are linked to your file.
# Publication
Publishing in StackEdit makes it simple for you to publish online your files. Once you're happy with a file, you can publish it to different hosting platforms like *Blogger*, *Dropbox*, *Gist*, *GitHub*, *Google Drive*, *WordPress* and *Zendesk*. With [Handlebars templates](http://handlebarsjs.com/), you have full control over what you export.

# Markdown extensions
StackEdit extends the standard Markdown syntax by adding extra *Markdown extensions*, providing you with some nice features.
> *ProTip:* You can disable any *Markdown extension* in the *File properties* dialog.
# KaTeX
You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using [KaTeX](https://khan.github.io/KaTeX/):
> You can find more information about *LaTeX* mathematical expressions [here](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/5020/mathjax-basic-tutorial-and-quick-reference).
# UML diagrams
You can render UML diagrams using [Mermaid](https://mermaidjs.github.io/). For example, this will produce a sequence diagram:
sequenceDiagram
Alice ->> Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
Bob-->>John: How about you John?
Bob--x Alice: I am good thanks!
Bob-x John: I am good thanks!
Note right of John: Bob thinks a long<br/>long time, so long<br/>that the text does<br/>not fit on a row.
Bob-->Alice: Checking with John...
Alice->John: Yes... John, how are you?

I haven't tried reproducing it in the example app but heard that @Skalakid investigated that.
