Tagging

You can add tags to notes to:

  • filter views
  • limit retrievals
  • focus on certain topics
  • separate notes

Different ways to tag​

There are many ways to tag:

In Main Bar​

Click the tag selector on the right side to type, pick, create, and delete tags.

Tagging

tip

You can press tab while typing to jump to the tags selector.

Then you can type to search for existing tags or create a new one, use arrow keys, backspace, and press enter to add a tag.

AI Tagging​

If you want Constella to automatically assign a tag to the note using the text typed in, use the AI tagging feature.

Using hashtags​

When taking a new note, you can add hashtags to the note and it will add those as tags to the note. If those tags don't exist, they will be created.

Hashtag Tagging

On The Note Card​

You can adjust the tags on the note card by clicking on the dropdown arrow.

Limiting search with tags​

If when searching or taking new notes, you only want to focus on notes of a certain tag, you can select the tag in the right hand side and it will only limit the search to notes with that tag.

This creates a focused searching, viewing, and adding notes experience when you want to focus on that particular topic alone.

You can focus and also connect thoughts from your different areas together because everything in life is interconnected.

Filtering via tags

Your personal desires and learnings may help at work, but sometimes you just want exactly work notes, so this is a win win for both worlds.

tip

This is a great way to focus on a particular area of your life.

Turning off filtering or OR tagging

info

However, if you want to not filter via tags (i.e. just adding # to tag the note), you can click the filter icon. Additionally, you can click the 'OR' button to find notes that contain any of the tags.

(Without the OR and with filtering enabled, only the notes with all the tags will be shown.)
