## Bulleted lists

You can add a bulleted list by typing `-` (dash) and space at the beginning of a new row.

Here's one:

- a bulleted list item
- and the second one
  - and an indented one
    - a super indented one
- back to square 1

## Numbered lists

Numbered lists work exactly like bulleted lists, except you can add them by typing `1.` (one and dot) at the beginning of a new row.

Here's one:

1. a numbered list
   1. going deeper
   2. stay the course
      1. Mariana Trench? Don't do this...
2. going back
3. end of story

PRO TIP 😎

Alternatively, you can add images inside both **Bulleted lists** or **Numbered lists **by creating a list of items and typing / inside it. This will let you add an image to a list item together with text:

1. type / inside a list item

::Image[]{src="https://app.archbee.com/api/optimize/bNBm7nPJgXjbjLyfbHNh2/PGbow5INWdycSKcDtANf9_bullet-light.png" darkSrc="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/bNBm7nPJgXjbjLyfbHNh2/1_6Mam8gbiiMA8h_cUZXY_bullet-dark.png" size="100" width="1520" height="572" darkWidth="1520" darkHeight="572" position="center" caption="Add image to list" indent="2" showCaption="true"}

2. Embed or upload your file inside the list and continue

## Checklists

:::hint{type="warning"}
Availavle only in the editor, not clickable in public spaces
:::

Checklists work precisely like the other two, except you can check items on or off. 
You can add a checklist by typing `[]` in the editor or clicking the checklist icon in a new row.

Here's one:

- [x] 2019
- [x] 2020
- [x] 2021
- [x] Q1 WIP
- [ ] Q2 WIP

## Important

:::hint{type="warning"}
Above, we've shown you how to add lists but now you wonder \*"How do I exit the list?"... \***You exit the list by hitting enter twice at the end of the list item**.

The first enter introduces a new empty list item and then the second enter removes the empty list item and moves on to a new paragraph.
:::

We feel this is important to share because usually all editors (from Microsoft Word to Google Docs) work this way but many people are unaware and it seems like a hard UX not knowing this.

## Indenting

To indent a list, press `TAB` on a new list item. To de-indent a list, press `SHIFT+TAB`.
