Links

A note that never references another note is a dead end. Linking is what turns a folder of separate documents into a connected project, every link you add becomes a path a reader, or you, can follow later, and it's also the raw data behind backlinks and the Graph View.

Internal links

Use double brackets to link to another file in the project. Use the full path when you want the most predictable target, add #Heading to point at a specific section, and add | followed by text to show a different label than the file name.

External links

For links that point outside the project, use standard Markdown link syntax: the label in square brackets, followed by the destination in parentheses.

Context menu support

Right-click and choose Add Link to insert an internal link, or Add External Link to insert a Markdown link, without typing the brackets and parentheses yourself.
