Page Types

Give your pages a colour-coded identity. A page type is a category you define — Person, Project, Idea, Reference, whatever you think in — each with a colour and an optional emoji. Assign one to a page and it gets a visual identity that follows it everywhere: a coloured dot in the sidebar, and — the real payoff — its node glows in that colour in the Graph, so your map reads as clusters of meaning at a glance.

Making and assigning types

Above the editor, in the top-left corner, is a + Type pill. Click it to open the picker:

• Create a type — type a name in the New type… field, click a colour swatch, and press Create. The new type is assigned to the current page straight away.
• Assign an existing type — just click it in the list.
• Clear it — choose ✕ No type.

You can also right-click a page in the sidebar and choose Set Type… — handy for typing a page you're not currently looking at.

Editing a type

In the picker, hover any type and a ✎ appears. Click it to rename the type, recolour it, or Delete it. Recolouring updates every page of that type at once; deleting a type clears it off every page that had it. Types live in the document, so they travel with it when you share or back it up.

Seeing types in the Graph

Typed pages light up in their colour on the map — instant visual clusters. To spotlight just one type, open the Graph's Lens… menu and pick it under Page type: those pages stay lit while the rest dim, answering “where is all my X?” at a glance. The Graph's corner legend reminds you the coloured dots are types. See The Graph.
