Tagging helps you group related notes. In Alexandria, any note can be used as a tag.
Basics:
- Use a note as a tag: when you "tag" another note with it, the tag shows up on that note.
- Multiple tags: a note can have many tags. This is flexible and works better than folders.
- Properties on tags: a tag note can define properties (like status, priority, due date). When you tag a note, those properties become available on the note.
Examples:
- A tag called "Task" with properties: status (select), priority (select), due_date (date).
- Tag a note with "Task" and "Work". Now the note has the Task properties and is grouped under both tags.
Tips:
-
Keep tag names short and clear.
-
Use verbs for workflow tags (e.g., "To Review", "Draft", "Published") and nouns for topics (e.g., "Rust", "Design").
-
Don't worry about structure too much. You can always add or remove tags later.
