Navigation & search

Getting where you want to go should take one move. A Workspace gives you several ways to travel — search from the top bar, Ctrl+K from anywhere, a Reference you can tap, a Board flag, Back and Forward — and they all reach the same places. Use whichever one is closest to your hand.

Search Workspaces from the top bar

The Find a workspace field travels with you: it is there on Home, in Settings, and inside any Workspace. It matches Workspace titles only, so it is the quickest way to switch rooms.

Navigate this Workspace

Navigate workspace searches the whole Workspace by name. Press Ctrl+K from anywhere, or tap the magnifier in the Board toolbar, highlighted below.

Choose any result and you are there. The round buttons narrow it to one kind; with none chosen, everything shows.

It reaches everything a Reference can reach, by title.
Right-click a row — or hold it on a touchscreen — to read its details without leaving the search.
It searches names, not the words inside your files. To search inside a source, ask Mesh.

Back and Forward follow content

Every piece of content you open in a panel joins a trail, whether you went there yourself or arrived through a Reference. The Back and Forward arrows beside the panel's title retrace it, and Go to Active Topic beside them returns the Map to your Active Topic, so you never have to find your way back by hand.

Try it. Back and Forward retrace the trail, and the panel changes with it. The green button jumps to the Active Topic.

Open something new after going Back and the forward path is gone, exactly like a browser.
The trail lasts for the current session and starts fresh when the page reloads.
A jump to the Board can close the side panels when Focus the board on jumps is on in Workspace settings.

Tip: Rename an item the moment you make it: Ch 4 practice set is still one search away months later, while a Note left as Untitled note is indistinguishable from every other one.
