Demo document

The demo document is an exported .zip that resides in db/demo.zip.

During on-boarding, if the user selects that they are a new user then the demo.zip is imported into the root note.

Modifying the document

On a dev server, remove all your existing notes in order to ensure a clean setup. Right click → Import to note and select the .zip file in db/demo.zip. Make sure to disable “Safe import”.

After making the necessary modifications, simply export the “Trilium Demo” note as “HTML in ZIP archive” and replace db/demo.zip with the newly exported one.

Testing the changes

rm -r data
npm run start-server

And then do the on-boarding again.
