Foam helps you to find orphans: notes that have neither forward links nor backlinks.
Orphans can be found in the Orphans panel.
Two settings allows you to control the behaviour of the Orphans panel:
foam.orphans.exclude: list of glob patterns that will be used to exclude directories. For example, a value of ["journal/**/*"] would exclude your daily notes.foam.orphans.groupBy: sets the default view mode of the Orphans panel: either groups by folder (by default), or lists all orphans. The view can be toggled on the fly from the panel, but it won't overwrite the setting.To list orphans from the terminal, see [list|foam list orphans].
