Graph View doesn't ask you to draw the graph by hand. It assembles itself from the linking commands you place inside your articles — /cite, /link, /wiki, /pdf — and lays the result out the way you've already organized the project: articles on the left in the same hierarchy as your sidebar, sources on the right.
How it works in note.md
- 1
Populate both halves
Articles in the left sidebar, sources in Knowledge Management. The graph reflects whatever you put in both — there is no separate graph to maintain, no extra schema to keep in sync.
- 2
Link inside your articles
Four slash commands build the connections from inside the editor: /cite and /pdf reach for sources (citations to specific bookmarks, or links to a project PDF), /wiki links to another article in the project, and /link handles external URLs. Every one of those becomes an edge the moment you save.
- 3
Read the layout
Open Graph View and the network draws itself: articles render on the left in the same hierarchy your sidebar shows, sources render on the right. Clusters, bridges and gaps in your coverage become obvious at a glance — the topology of your project, not just its file list.
- 4
Label edges and (optionally) export
Click any edge to assign a relation type — supports, contradicts, builds on, contextualises, whatever fits. When you want to run deeper analysis, export the whole graph in a Neo4j-friendly format for centrality, paths and community detection.
