Connecting Atoms across your Workspace

Once an Atom is captured, connections can be made to anything else in a workspace, for that knowledge or important detail to be used in other areas of your workspace.

Connections are added across your workspace by creating links between the Atom and other Pages in your workspace.

Source Link #

After hitting Capture to add the atom into your workspace, above the atom text you will see some coloured ringed text. This is a Link between the Atom just captured and the current Page.

The Source link is automatically created between the Atom and the Current Page. This link can be identified by the Source icon – an up arrow inside a circle

This first link is always created whenever you capture an Atom and acts as the Source of your Atom. No matter how many other Links are added, this Source link can be distinguished by the source icon – a circled up arrow – at the beginning of the link.

Adding Links to your Atoms #

Next to the Source Link, you will see ‘Add New or Link Item‘. Here is where you can start typing the Title of another Page in your workspace to link this atom to it, or browse through the list of Pages in your Workspace to select the Pages you want to Link this atom to.

Link the Atom to several other pages in your workspace to make it easier to find when you want it.

Whenever you view the Atom, you will always be able to see the Links as they display above the atom itself. Sometimes these Links may also be referred to as Tags.

Atom Box,with Links listed above the atom. The first Link on display with the circled arrow symbol indicates the source of the atom i.e. the page it was captured in.

Links can be added to an Atom at any time. Navigate to the Page, open the Atom Sidebar, and click to open the Atom. Then add links in the same way as shown above.

Linked Atom Behaviour #

Once an Atom is linked to another page, it will also display as an Atom of that page, and appear in the Atom Sidebar of all linked pages.

Navigating with Atoms #

Clicking on any Links in an Atom will take you to the corresponding page.
