How to Format and Edit Sheets

The Sefaria sheet editor is a tool that allows users to create their own compilations of texts and media. Source sheets may include texts from within the library, multimedia resources, or original text. 

When creating a sheet, you can format your sheets in multiple ways, including adding bolded or italicized text and choosing to display information as numbered or bulleted lists. You can also edit source texts, delete texts, and move texts around the sheet to reorganize your work. 

Please note: You must have a Sefaria Account to create a sheet on Sefaria.
