Knowledge tools in Notes

Hybrid ⌘K search, wiki links, synced templates, and AI changes you approve before they touch a draft.

Before you start

  • Signed in with Notes open on Mac or Hub.

Steps

  1. 1

    On Mac press ⌘K. Normal search shows local Notes; type mind: followed by a query to opt into live Mind search.

  2. 2

    Every command-palette result shows its provenance: local Notes, Calendar, or Mind plus notebook.

  3. 3

    Type [[ followed by a note title and choose a suggestion to insert a wiki link.

  4. 4

    Choose Meeting, Idea, or Report + table from Templates. Account templates sync through Preferences; applying changes only the draft.

  5. 5

    Choose Structure typed draft or Structure voice draft. Compare Before and After, then Apply or dismiss. Save remains a separate explicit action.

Common mistakes

  • Mind search is optional and read-only; if it is unavailable, local Notes results still work.
  • AI never silently rewrites the note body. No Apply means no draft change; no Save means no Notes sync change.
  • Templates are text-only and bounded; media attachments remain in the existing Notes model.
