My Zettelkasten only uses very view folders. The three most important folders are for “Permanent Notes”, “Reference Notes” and “Projekt Notes” for my output. Searching with Graph View benefits from this clear structure. Color coding, here with yellow, blue and red, makes it easy to understand the connections. Surely, it take a little time to enter these paths and color data into the groups section of Graph View, but I can store the result as a bookmark for further use.
- path:3_Permanent
- path:4_References
- path:5_Structures
- path:6_Project Notes
In my sketchnote example the filter in Graph View is set to “socratic” as a single search term. For a repeated use of this Graph View template I have to:
- Select the template from the Obsidian Bookmarks
- Replace “socratic” by a new search term
Easy to use, with great results.
