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 dashboard → Knowledge base → Graph (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 |
