Palettes
Palettes are the small tools docked on the right side of the window. Click the
Palettes toolbar button (⌃⌥T) to show or hide the panel; it opens to
Info, the first of a row of tabs along the top. Drag a tab onto another to
reorder them and the order sticks; drag the divider to widen the panel, or double-click
it (or click the chevron that appears when you hover it) to put the panel away with its
width kept — see "The panels' door handles" in Settings and Preferences.
The tabs carry the handful you reach for most — Info, Context (a calm read on the
page you're on: its connections, the AI-related notes, and its details), Properties, Pages,
Backlinks, Related, Tags, Calendar, Updates, Static. Every other pane below still
exists — open it from the command palette (⇧⌘P) with Show (pane),
e.g. "Show Provocations" or "Show Rediscover".
| Palette | What it does |
|---|---|
| Context | The page you're on at a glance — its connections (backlinks and unlinked mentions), its notes (every thought you pinned into this page and every passage you marked, each with the sentence it sits in), the related notes your AI finds by meaning, and its key details, each section collapsible. A calm read on where this note sits. |
| Pages | Every page, filterable — a second page list that lives on the right. Turn on Select to check several pages and act on all at once: add or remove a tag, set their page type, move them into a folder, add them to the Table of Contents, or delete them (with a confirmation — pages go to Recently Deleted). Two or more can be ✦ Synthesized into a new note. |
| Backlinks | Every page that links to the current page, each with the sentence around the mention. Below them, any unlinked mentions — pages whose text names this page but that aren't linked to it (the pair was unlinked, or auto-linking is off) — so nothing that talks about this page stays hidden. Hover a row for a preview card. |
| Outgoing | The mirror of Backlinks — every page the current one links out to, with the sentence around each link. |
| Related | Pages whose content resembles this one, found by meaning rather than by the words in it — connections you never made explicitly. Needs nothing installed; see Local AI. |
| Rediscover | Forgotten notes worth seeing again now — your own pages, surfaced by how forgotten and how relevant-to-recent-writing they are. See When Your Wiki Thinks Back. |
| Provocations | Where two of your notes genuinely disagree — contradictions your local model finds among related pairs. See When Your Wiki Thinks Back. |
| Bisect | State a belief and pinpoint the note where your view turned — git-bisect for your own thinking. See When Your Wiki Thinks Back. |
| Lint | A "problems panel" for meaning: unsupported claims, contradictions, and orphan pages. See When Your Wiki Thinks Back. |
| Shifts | Record a change of mind ("I used to think X, now Y") into a timeline. See When Your Wiki Thinks Back. |
| Tags | Assign tags to the current page, or Browse every tag in the document. Tags nest with a slash — area/health, area/health/sleep — and Browse shows them as a collapsible tree, each level with a count of the pages beneath it; click a page to jump to it. |
| Info | The current page: name, dates, type, skip-on-export; aliases; document settings (home page, new-page format, linking toggles); custom URL links. |
| Meta | Arbitrary key/value pairs on the page — invisible data that scripts can read and write. See Scripting: Plugins. |
| To-dos | Every line in the document containing a to-do token (@todo by default — add your own in the pane). Click to jump. |
| Anchors | Every marked passage in the document, on rich-text and Markdown pages alike — the ones you name yourself with Format ▸ Add Page Anchor…, and the ones made for you when you select words and choose Copy Link to Selected Words. Click to jump and flash. For the marks on the page you are reading right now, with the sentence around each, use the Notes section of the Context pane instead. |
| Updates | Recently edited and recently viewed pages with timestamps. |
| Calendar | The daily-notes month view — dotted days have notes; click a day to open or start one. See Daily Notes. |
| Static | Publish the wiki as a blog. See Static Publishing. |
| Scripts | The script runner and your plugin pages. See Scripting: Plugins. |
(MojoPad's AI used to live here as an “Ask AI” pane; it now has its own ✦ AI drawer that slides out from the toolbar — see Local AI.)
(Info used to have its own toolbar button; it's now simply the first palette tab — and the pane the panel opens to.)
