Create the linked page

On Photo Walk, click Woodland Hike. A link can name a page before it even exists (although it will appear in orangy-red). Following the link opens that page so we can start writing it.

You can also open the page picker, type Woodland Hike and notice that it’s already in the list even though it does not exist. This is what’s called an Aspiring Page: it’s a page that does not yet exist, but is already linked to. It’s aspiring to become a real page one day. Today is that day.

On Woodland Hike, enter the following content:

Sam Rivera is planning a woodland hike on 2026-06-21.

# Plan
* Follow the woodland trail.
* Bring the camera from our [[Photo Walk]].

We now have two outing pages, with a link in each direction.

Bidirectional linking

Click Photo Walk on Woodland Hike. You should return to the plan. Look for Linked Mentions at the bottom of the page, normally docked below the page: it shows the excerpt from Woodland Hike that points here. Open Woodland Hike again and its linked mentions show the reference from Photo Walk.

These are backlinks. You wrote the original links, SilverBullet found the reverse references. Linked Mentions are another powerful way for Discovery in your space.

Graphing it out

Open Photo Walk and press Cmd-Shift-g on macOS or Ctrl-Shift-g on Windows/Linux, or run Graph: Explore from the command palette (Cmd-/ / Ctrl-/).

This graph view shows connections around the current page. Switch to Global to see the pages across your space. Look for Photo Walk and Woodland Hike, connected by their links. Other pages in your space may appear too.

Graph View on its Local tab, showing Photo Walk linked to Woodland Hike. Double-click a page’s node to open it. Scroll or pinch to zoom, and drag empty space to move around the graph. When you click nodes the expand to also reveal their relations to other pages and objects.

The graph gives you another way to explore your pages through links you have already created. It needs no tags or queries. See Graph View for filters, additional relationships and docking options.

The linking habit

#protip As you will discover, it is beneficial to link liberally. If you think some word or concept is significant and may need more elaboration (its own page) later — link it! Even if you don’t create the page you link to yet, it’s worth linking to. Once you linked to it once, future auto completes after typing [[ will show it even if it doesn’t exist yet. Later you can create the page, even as one without content just so you can see all the locations that link to it with [[Linked Mention|Linked Mentions]].

Find a page without a link

While using the Page Picker is a common way to move around, you may also like to use the File Tree instead.

If you remember the contents of a page, but not the title, open Search with Cmd-Shift-f / Ctrl-Shift-f. Search for binoculars. Open the Photo Walk result to return to its task.
