Meta Sidebar
Get metadata of the note, backlinks and outline
The meta sidebar is one of the sidebars that opens on the right side of Octarine. It's tied to the note you're currently working on, and shows you useful details and information about that note.
The sidebar remembers which tab you last viewed, so when you reopen it, you'll land on the same tab. This preference persists across app refreshes and restarts.
Info
The first tab is Info, which displays read-only metadata about your note:
- When the note was created
- When it was last modified
- A count of characters, words, and lines, plus an estimate of how long it would take to read
You'll also see any wikilinks you've added to the note, with quick previews and access, as well as any media & file attachments.
Referenced In
The second tab shows backlinks—other notes that link to this note using wikilink syntax. This makes it easy to see where a note is referenced across your workspace, with quick access to jump to those notes.
Outline
This tab gives you a simple table of contents based on the heading hierarchy in your note. Click any heading in the outline, and the editor will scroll directly to it. Perfect for navigating longer notes.
