Notes and knowledge base

The media library holds your footage. Notes hold your words. Both belong to the workspace, so everyone in it sees the same set.

Notes are not just a scratchpad — they are the other half of your material: the agent can save an answer into one, a whole transcript or subtitle track can land in one, the canvas can reference one, and workflows can search and read them. So this page is less about typing and more about how things get in, and how they get back out.

Getting things in#

Four places offer Save to notes, and everything written this way carries its source:

From	What lands in the note
An answer in AI Studio	That answer, sourced back to the message
A sticky note on a board	The note text, sourced back to that board
Editor → Transcript	The whole transcript; with a selection, only the selected lines
Editor → Subtitles	The whole subtitle track; translations are written alongside the original

The dialog can create a note or append to an existing one. Transcripts and subtitles add a choice of body shape:

• Prose — consecutive sentences join into paragraphs, with a break after a pause longer than 1.5 seconds. Pick this when the text is a draft you intend to rewrite.
• Quotes with timecodes — one quote block per line, followed by the asset name and time. Pick this when you want to check each line back against the video.

Both shapes share the same sources: provenance is a fact, and it does not change with layout.

Appending to a note someone else is editing does not interrupt them — the appended text merges into their current draft and they keep typing, with no conflict prompt.

Writing#

The body is a what-you-see editor with one toolbar row: paragraph style (body text, headings one through six), bold, italic, strikethrough, three list kinds (bulleted, numbered, task), an insert menu (quote, code block, divider, image), web links, tables, and undo/redo.

A few things worth calling out:

• Images can be pasted, dragged in, or inserted from the toolbar; select one to edit its link and alt text in place.
• Code blocks take a language, get syntax highlighting in both light and dark themes, and have a copy button. They stay valid Markdown and participate in undo.
• Type @ to reference another note. The reference pins the revision it was made against, but opens the latest content by default; use View referenced version to see the pinned one.
• Three modes sit at the top right: Write / Read / Markdown. The last one shows the source.

The status beside the title says where you stand: Saved / Saving… / Draft pending. Closing the page loses nothing — an unsaved draft stays on this device and comes back the next time you open the note.

If you hit a conflict#

When two people change the same part of the same note, you see This note has a newer version. Neither side is overwritten:

1. Press Retry save to try again, or
2. Press Load the latest version — it exports your draft as a .md file first, then pulls the server's copy.

So the worst case leaves you with an extra .md file, not with lost words.

Keeping it tidy#

The list on the left supports search (titles, body, tags) plus Favorites, Trash and Topic filters.

Select notes turns on multi-select: hold Shift for a range, select the whole current list, then favorite, export Markdown, move to trash, restore or delete permanently in bulk. Right-clicking one note offers open, rename, duplicate and copy note link.

Import Markdown sits in the list header and accepts .md / .markdown / .txt, up to 500 KB per file.

Delete permanently removes the note and all of its revisions, with no way back. Existing references stay where they are, but their source can no longer be opened.

Revision history#

Every save is an immutable revision. More → Revision history lists them by time; pick one to read it. Restore this version creates a new revision rather than erasing the history after it.

Sources and properties#

More → Sources and properties lists where this note came from, plus its topics and tags (both comma-separated). Excerpts saved from assets, chats or boards appear here automatically, and clicking one goes back to the original — asset excerpts carry their timecode with them.

Getting back out: canvas and workflows#

Infinite canvas#

Boards gained a Document node: pick a note and it pins that revision's content. Connect it to a text, image, video or voice node and the content flows downstream as input. The node offers Open original, Update to the latest version and Replace note.

When the original is trashed or deleted, the node says Note unavailable instead of quietly passing an empty string downstream.

Workflows#

The workflow Knowledge category has three nodes:

Node	What it does
Search notes	Searches titles, content, tags and topics; returns cited excerpts
Read note	Outputs the full Markdown and a source link; leave the revision empty for the latest, or pin one
Save as note	Saves text or upstream output as a new note, without overwriting existing ones

Search notes returns excerpts rather than full text — connect it to Read note when you need the whole thing. That keeps a search across dozens of notes from blowing up the context.

Agent citations#

Notes and web sources in an agent's answer are clickable, and open the exact revision that was cited. What it searched and which version it used stay in the answer for you to check — you are not asked to trust that it remembered correctly.
