I remember that you can create roles and set permissions to books, chapters, and pages.

Does it have a built in user permission control or does it need local users?

@tim_g Correct.

Is there a way to stop showing previews?
Is there a way to collapse text in Bookstack using markdown?

[stacksofplates]

Is anyone actually using this?

I think JB is due to some clients needing a WYSIWYG editor.

I've fully transitioned to this for the same reasons @JaredBusch did. Easier for users.

Never looked.
I do not know of any markdown commands to do that.

Oh ok. Ya if you need users to do something then that makes sense.

When using WYSIWYG for your page editor, click on source code
and add this code. It also works when using Markdown too.

## collapsible markdown?

<details><summary>CLICK ME</summary>
<p>
Hello World
</p>
</details>

[JaredBusch]

Does that work here?

Collapse test:

<details>
<summary>CLICK ME</summary>
<p>
Hello World
</p>
</details>

[JaredBusch]

Nope.
