Write Docs and link them together

Docs is where longer writing lives: plans, meeting notes, how-tos, a journal. If you used Thendoo before, this is the page that used to be called Notes.

Choose New Doc and start typing. The placeholder says it all: “Type / for commands, @ to mention”. The / menu offers Heading 1 to Heading 3, Bulleted list, Numbered list, Checklist, Quote, Code block, Divider, Table, Callout (Info, Tip or Warning) and Sub-page.

One block is special: Task list from a List shows the open tasks of a List you choose, live, and you can tick them off right inside the Doc. Handy for a project brief that always shows what’s left.

Docs save as you type; the status reads Saved. Dress a Doc up with an icon, one of 8 covers or Full width, and Pin the ones you open daily.

Type @ and pick a Doc, Task or Person. The mention becomes a link you can follow. At the bottom of each Doc, a line such as “3 Docs link here” lists the Docs that point to it, so related pages find each other.

Choose Today’s note for a Doc tied to today’s date, one per day. Past days collect under Journal. Use it for a quick log, not a diary you must keep up; a blank day is fine.

New Doc from a template offers four Starters: Meeting notes, Project brief, SOP and Weekly plan. Turn any Doc into your own with Save as template.

Choose Import Obsidian vault and pick a .zip of your vault, up to 25 MB and 5,000 notes. Links between notes are kept, files named like 2026-10-06 become daily notes, and the .obsidian settings folder is skipped.
