Grid View

<figure class="image"></figure>

This view presents the child notes in a grid format, allowing for a more visual navigation experience.

Each tile contains:

  • The title of a note.
  • A snippet of the content.
  • For empty notes, the sub-children are also displayed, allowing for quick navigation.

Depending on the type of note:

  • For <a class="reference-link" href="../Note%20Types/Text.md">Text</a> notes, the text can be slightly scrollable via the mouse wheel to reveal more context.
  • For <a class="reference-link" href="../Note%20Types/Code.md">Code</a> notes, syntax highlighting is applied.
  • For <a class="reference-link" href="../Note%20Types/File.md">File</a> notes, a preview is made available for audio, video and PDF notes.
  • If the note does not have a content, a list of its child notes will be displayed instead.

The grid view is also used by default in the <a class="reference-link" href="../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Notes/Note%20List.md">Note List</a> of every note, making it easy to navigate to children notes.

Creating a new table

Right click on an existing note in the <a class="reference-link" href="../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a> and select Insert child note and look for Grid View.

Configuration

Unlike most other view types, the grid view is not actually configurable.
