Knowledge Graph (Wiki-links)

The knowledge graph is a visual map of the connections between notes in your knowledge base. It is built automatically from wiki-links of the form [[Note title]].

Why use the graph

When you have many notes, finding related facts through search becomes awkward. The graph shows how topics relate to each other: from one note you can "walk" through links to the one you need in a few steps.

This helps you:

  • Discover unexpected connections between topics.
  • Build a structured knowledge base (e.g., company → product → market).
  • Identify "hub" notes — ones that the most other notes link to.

How to create connections

Inside any note, write [[Title of another note]]. The system automatically creates a two-way connection.

Example:

## Client profile: Acme Corp

Acme is in logistics. Main pain point — [[Customs delays]].
Budget approved by [[Acme CFO]].

Both notes will appear in the graph as connected nodes.

Where to open the graph

Open the web dashboardKnowledge baseGraph (or click the graph icon in the top-right corner of the section).

Navigating the graph

  • Click a node — opens the note.
  • Hover over a node — see the title and number of connections.
  • Zoom in / out — mouse wheel or trackpad gesture.
  • Drag — select an area for a detailed view.

Graph metrics

On a note's page (and in the graph) you can see three metrics:

Metric Meaning
Neighbours Notes connected directly (one step)
Shortest path How to get from one note to another in the fewest steps
Centrality How "important" the note is in the network — the more links, the higher

Tips for graph structure

  • Name notes unambiguously: [[Objection: price too high]] is better than [[Price]].
  • Create hubs: make a summary note for a topic (e.g., "Competitive analysis") and link to it from related notes.
  • Don't over-complicate: 3–5 links per note is enough; a too-dense graph is harder to read.

Common issues

Issue Cause Fix
Node not appearing in graph Link has a typo in the title Make sure the name in [[...]] matches exactly
Graph is empty No wiki-links in any note Add at least one [[...]] link
Connection appears one-sided Normal — the graph shows both directions Both notes should appear as neighbours
