Hi! I’m very knew to knowledge management in general and I’m having trouble organizing my Zettelkasten system. Do I use the zettelkasten prefixer only for permanent notes or do I use it for notes in the “Incubation” file? Or maybe the ID is for _any_ note, except for daily notes.

There is plenty of info on this forum. Here is an example: [https://forum.obsidian.md/t/what-is-a-zettelkasten-in-10-seconds/1521](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/what-is-a-zettelkasten-in-10-seconds/1521)

To find more info, click on the magnifying glass in the top right corner, and type “zettelkasten” (w/o the quotation marks) in the box.
