I have an assigment on ravenDb and I've written queries for selecting, sorting, filtering and such. But I cannot figure out how to do simple adding a new document to a collection named "Employees" or updating a value inside document "employees/8-A", from "employees".

I have gone through the documention using these links:

https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/5.4/csharp/client-api/operations/patching/set-based https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/5.4/csharp/client-api/operations/patching/single-document

I even googled and came across this thread ; Updating documents in RavenDB But one of the linked articles is deleted.

But it's just JS code. Is there no syntax I can run inside the query tool in raven db studio?

For managing updates from the Session, Look at the following demos:

Adding/creating a new document:
https://demo.ravendb.net/demos/csharp/basics/create-document
Load and edit document:
https://demo.ravendb.net/demos/csharp/basics/load-and-edit-document

For updating a field with Patching, from all docs, see the inner RQL for example here:
https://ravendb.net/docs/article-page/5.4/csharp/client-api/operations/patching/set-based#updating-by-document-id-using-parameters

from @all_docs as d
where id() in ($ids)
update { d.Updated = true; }

Or, from a specific collection: 

from Companies
update { this.Name = 'newName'; }
