Tags, collections, trash and versions
Knowledge gets big quickly. Four light tools keep it findable, and none of them require you to decide a folder structure up front.
Knowledge
Deleting is recoverable
- Tabs split notes, files and artifacts
- Collections cut across folders
- Filter by tag too
- Deleting is recoverable
The tabs
Recent, Notes, Files, Artifacts and Trash. Artifacts are the documents, decks and spreadsheets Metir made. See slide decks.
Tags
Your own tags, plus tags Metir generates while indexing. Both are searchable, and you can filter the whole view by any one of them.
Collections
Groupings that cut across folders and projects. Create one with New collection, then add items from a row's menu. Better than folders when a piece of work pulls from several places.
Trash
Deleting moves an item to Trash, where you can restore it or delete it forever. Trashed items are hidden from search and from research runs, so a deleted document stops influencing answers immediately.
Versions
Snapshot a file and restore an earlier version later. Restoring re-indexes it, so search reflects what the file says now.
