Link notes and add web links
To link notes together in Memlow, type [[ in a note and pick the note to link to. The link shows the other note's title, and a tap opens it. Words can link to a web page too: select them and choose Link, or paste an address over them.
Link to another note
- In the note, type
[[. - Start typing the other note's title. Memlow lists the notes that match.
- Pick one. The link takes the note's title, in bold.
On Android
The toolbar's [[ ]] button (Link to a note) types the brackets for you. Memlow shows up to six matching notes. If none has the title you typed, Create makes a new, empty note with it, in the same folder, and links to it.
On the web
Memlow shows up to eight matching notes, most recently changed first. Move through them with ↑ and ↓, and press Enter or Tab to pick one. If none matches, it says No note with that title: make that note first, then link to it.
Tap or click a link to open the note it points to, even while you're writing. If you rename that note, every link to it shows the new title. On Android, a link to a note that's been deleted turns grey and struck through.
Links tie notes together. A meal plan can open the shopping list, and lecture notes can open the course's reading list.
