![]() For example, you could point out that one concept causes another to occur. This enables you to add context to the relationships between your ideas. You can also add labels to rhe connector lines, much like a concept map. But I need to remember that this is only a beta build of canvas that hasn’t even been released to the public yet. ![]() In other words, connecting two notes in the canvas doesn’t create corresponding bi-directional text links in both notes.įor an application in which note linking is a core feature, this is surprising. Interestingly enough, these are not the same as note links. Once you’ve loaded a note into the canvas, you can resize it, move it around the workspace, align it with other notes and more.Ĭonnecting ideas: You can now add connector lines between notes in canvas view. Also unique to canvas view is a set of undo and redo buttons in this toolbar.Īdding notes to the canvas: This is a simple drag-and-drop operation.

The developer has pre-released an update to insiders – essentially a beta release to people who have paid to help support Obsidian – that enables users to drag and drop notes on an infinite canvas, link them using connector lines and other advanced features that I haven’t seen in visual note-taking tools before. ![]() As I’ve started using the Obsidian app as the basis for my next-generation digital note-taking system, I found myself wishing for a canvas-like interface similar to Scrintal, Napkin and other visual note-taking tools.
