Info sidebar

The note info sidebar shows metadata, structure, and links for the open note. Keep it open when you review properties, outline, or backlinks.

Open and close

Use Toggle Note Info Sidebar (Cmd+Shift+I) to show or hide it. You can also close it with the × control on the panel (Close info panel).

Open a Markdown note first. The panel describes the active note.

Tabs

The panel has an Info tab. When Git history is available for the Space, a Version history tab appears as well.

  • Info: properties, stats, outline, links, and file details
  • Version history: past versions from Git when that tab is present

If you do not use Git Sync, you may only see Info. That is expected.

Info sections

Properties

Edit frontmatter fields for the note (title, tags, custom properties, and related fields). The toolbar label is Properties. Switch between the properties list and raw frontmatter when you need either view.

Stats

  • Words
  • Characters
  • Reading time

These update from the note content as you edit.

Tasks

See checklist progress: how many tasks are done out of the total in the note. Task counts come from checklist items in the Markdown.

Outline

Headings in the note appear as an outline. Click a heading to jump to it. If there are no headings yet, you see No headings in this note yet.

Notes that link to this note show up under Backlinks. Click a backlink to open that note. Backlinks appear when other notes point here with wikilinks or related links the index understands.

Relationships

Structured relationship fields from properties appear here when present. Click a related target to open or resolve it.

Linked notes

Outgoing links from this note (wikilinks and related Markdown links) list under Linked notes. If there are none, the panel shows No linked notes.

File details

The bottom Info block lists file facts:

  • Modified
  • Created
  • Path
  • Lines
  • Size
  • Save status

Use this when you need the path on disk or to confirm the note is saved.

Mutual exclusion with the AI panel

The note info sidebar and the AI panel share the right side. Opening note info hides the AI panel, and opening the AI panel hides note info. Only one of those right-hand panels shows at a time.

Toggle AI with Toggle AI Panel when you need the assistant; toggle note info again when you need metadata.

Tips

  • Keep info open while you review backlinks and outline structure.
  • Use Version history when Git Sync is set up and you need an older revision.
  • Cmd+Shift+I is remappable in Settings → Shortcuts.
  • Pair the outline here with a floating table of contents if you enable that in General settings.
