💡 Quick Tips
Backlinks for Discovery Open the Backlinks panel to see which notes reference your current note. Great for finding related content and surfacing unexpected connections in your vault.
Alias for Flexible Linking Add aliases in frontmatter (aliases: [Alt Name]) so you can link to notes using shorter or alternative names. Makes writing flow naturally without exact note title constraints.
Outline Panel Navigation Click the Outline panel to jump between headings in long notes. Faster than scrolling, especially useful for research notes or MOCs with many sections.
🛠️ From LeanProductivity
Syncing notes is not a backup. I put together a demo of popular free sync opions and just for the fun of it, I also included an automated and free 3-2-1 backup system that you can build yourself.
