Link notes to each other

Connect related notes with internal links, follow them in both directions, and create notes from links.

A link between two notes is a thought you do not have to rebuild later: this decision came from that meeting, this essay draws on that reading.

Creating a link

On desktop, type / and choose Internal Link, then search for the note. On mobile, tap the internal link button on the toolbar above the keyboard and pick the note from the search sheet.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Type / where the link goes and choose Internal Link.
2Search for the note and pick it.
3The link sits in the text, under the name of the note.
Step by stepOn mobile
1Swipe the toolbar along and tap the internal link button.
2Search for the note and tap it.
3The link goes into the note. Tap it to open that note.

Following links

Click or tap a link to open the target note. Grape selects the right folder on the way, so you always land in context.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Click a link to open the note it points to.
2The note opens, selected in its folder.

Linking to a note that does not exist yet

Write the link anyway. Clicking a link whose note does not exist creates that note and opens it, which makes links a fast way to sketch structure before the content exists. If the note gets created some other way later, Grape reconnects the waiting links on its own.

Seeing the other direction

Open Note Info on any note and check the Backlinks tab to see every note that links here, and the Links tab for every note this one points to. For the whole library at once, open graph view.

Step by stepOn desktop
1Open the note menu and choose Note Info.
2Backlinks lists the notes that link here, and Links the ones this note points to.
