This Note

The This note panel puts everything about the open note in one place. Open it from the right-hand rail (the notebook icon, where Properties used to be) with a note selected.

It stacks these sections:

Section	What it shows
Facts	Numbers about this note: when it was made and edited, how long it is, how connected it is, and more.
Outline	Its headings, with the one you’re reading highlighted. Click one to jump there; drag one to move its section.
Tasks	Only when it has some: its checkbox tasks — tick one to complete it.
Mentions	Only when it has some: everything it mentions with @.
Dates	Only when it has some: the dates it names with @@.
Properties	The note’s key/value metadata, editable — the same editor as described in Properties.
Tags	Its tags, each marked with where it comes from, with add and remove.
Graph	The note and the notes around it, with the links between them.
Linked from	Every note that links here.
Links to	Every note this one links to.
Problems	Only when there is one: links to notes that don’t exist yet, and notes marked as contradicting this one.

Facts and Graph are open when you first use the panel and every other section starts closed; each title shows how many items are inside, so you can see at a glance what a note has before opening anything. Click a title to open the section and again to close it — DocGraph remembers your choice, and it applies to every note you open. Point at a title (or move to it with the keyboard) to see a short explanation of the section. While you scroll, the title of the section you’re in stays pinned at the top.

To add a property, click Add a property… and type its name; the type and value fields appear as you start. To add a tag, type in Add tag… next to the tags and press Enter. With AI on, the sparkle button next to it suggests tags.

Facts

Every number in Facts is about this note only, and a number with nothing to report is left out.

Number	What it tells you
Created	When the note was made — from its created property, or the file’s date when it has none (marked “file date”).
Edited	When the file last changed.
Words	How long it is, with a reading-time estimate.
Connected	How central it is in your vault: Hub, Well linked, Linked or Orphan (nothing links to or from it), with its rank.
Embeds	Images, tables, charts, saved queries and code blocks in it.
Versions	How many saved versions version history holds (up to 100+).
Topic	The topic group it belongs to in the graph.
File	What kind of file it is and its size.

Point at a number (or move to it with the keyboard) to see what it means and the details behind it — the names, the dates. Versions opens History and Topic opens the Graph when you click them.

An encrypted note shows only Created, Edited and File until you unlock it.

Tasks, Mentions and Dates

These appear only when the note has some.

• Tasks lists the note’s checkbox tasks, open ones first. Tick a box to complete the task — it’s written into the note, as in the Todo panel. Click a task’s text to jump to it in the note. Overdue due dates are shown in amber.
• Mentions lists everything the note mentions with @ — people, organisations, places, projects — most mentioned first, with the kind after any that is not a person. Click a name to see it in the Mentions panel; ⌘-click opens its page if it has one.
• Dates lists the dates written with @@, upcoming first, each with how far away it is (“in 3 days”, “2 weeks ago”). Click one to open that day in the Calendar. Dates written in plain text are counted on a line underneath.

Tags

The same chips as the Tags panel’s This note view, on one row with an Add tag… field; with AI on, the sparkle button suggests tags. Each chip shows where the tag comes from, and only tags you added or accepted here have a remove button.

• Point at a chip for how many notes use the tag and the most recently edited ones.
• Click a chip to open that tag in the Tags panel’s All tags view; ‹ This note brings you back.
• A tag the note writes more than once shows ×N; each click scrolls the page to the next use.
• Notes like this, under the chips, lists up to five notes that share the most tags with this one.

Problems

When the note has a problem, a Problems section appears at the bottom of the panel with an amber count. It lists two kinds:

• Links to name — Not created yet: this note links to a note that doesn’t exist. Click it and the page scrolls to the link and flashes it, so you can fix the link or create the note.
• Contradicts name / Contradicted by name: one of the two notes marks the other with the contradicts link type. Click it to open the other note and decide which position stands.

A healthy note has no Problems section at all. The Problems panel in the rail still lists every problem in the vault.

Graph

A small picture of this note and the notes it is directly linked with. The point is the links between those notes: the two lists below already name them, the graph shows which of them link to each other — a tight cluster, a chain, or notes that only meet here.

• This note sits in the middle, with a ring around it, and its neighbours sit on a circle around it.
• Notes that link here are on the left, notes this one links to are on the right, and notes that link both ways are across the top. The gap at the bottom is where the two sides meet.
• Notes that link to each other sit next to each other on the circle, so a group of notes that all cite one another shows up as a tight fan of short lines. DocGraph orders each side to keep those lines from crossing where it can; a group where almost every note links to every other will still show a few crossings.
• A note that a link points to but that doesn’t exist yet is drawn as a hollow ring.

When the graph appears, the notes drift out from the middle the way the Graph panel settles — pushing apart, with linked notes pulling together — and glide into the circle in about two seconds; after that it stays still. With Reduce motion turned on in your system settings, it appears already settled.

Drag a dot to pull it out of the circle — its links stretch with it — and let go to watch it spring back into place.

Point at a dot to light it, its links, and its row in Linked from or Links to; point at a row and its dot lights up. Click a dot to open that note.

Up to 16 notes, every dot has its name; beyond that, this note and its eight best-connected neighbours do, and the others show their name when you point at them. Two notes with the same name show their folder in front.

The graph shows up to 25 notes. A note with more neighbours shows the best-connected ones and +N more in the corner; the lists below still have every note. It doesn’t zoom or pan — for that, click the expand button in its top-right corner, which opens the Graph panel in local mode, centred on this note.

A note with no links shows “No links to or from this note yet.” Closing the section stops the graph from being drawn at all.

Linked from

Each row is one note that links here. It shows:

• a dot in the note’s colour in the graph, then its name and folder;
• ×2, ×3… when it links here more than once;
• the link type, when the link has one (source, supersedes…);
• a two-way arrow when the note is also in Links to — the two notes link to each other;
• a short excerpt (up to two lines) of the sentence around the link, with this note’s name in bold.

Notes with the most links come first. Click a row to open that note scrolled to the link. A long list shows its first six notes; Show all opens the rest.

The excerpt comes from the paragraph, list item, heading or quote that holds the link. A link that sits outside any of those has no excerpt; the row still shows.

Links to

One row per note this one links to: its dot, name, folder and link types, and the two-way arrow when that note links back. Click a row to open it.

A link to a note that doesn’t exist yet shows a hollow dot and Not created yet; clicking it shows the link in this note, as the same row in Problems does.

Folders

When you open a folder’s properties from the file tree (Properties… in the folder menu), the panel shows only the property editor — tags, outline and links belong to notes.

The other panels

Links, Outline and Tags are still their own panels in the rail. Use Links for typed-link grouping, Related for similar notes and unlinked titles, and Tags to browse, rename or merge every tag in the vault.

What the assistant sees

The Linked from and Links to lists, and the links drawn in Graph, come from the same call the assistant and MCP agents use, get_note_context, so the counts you see are the ones an agent gets. The agent gets the links between neighbouring notes as a list (up to 30). An agent calls it before editing a note to learn, in one step, what the note carries and which other notes quote it.
