Tiles
Sometimes one note isn’t enough—you need multiple views open at once. With Tiles, you can drag anything from the sidebar and open it side by side. This makes it easy to work in the same context while keeping all the pieces you need visible.
Why Tiles Are Useful
Work in parallel: Write in one note while referencing another
Mix contexts: Open a note, an AI chat, and your graph together
Stay focused: Keep everything you need in view without constant switching
Collaborate smarter: Compare related notes or review a document while chatting with the AI Assistant
How Tiles Work
From the sidebar, drag any item into your workspace
It will open as a tile next to your current note
Rearrange tiles side by side to fit your workflow
You can open:
Multiple notes at once
An AI chat alongside your notes
Groups of related notes
Your Graph view for a visual context
Scenarios
Research: Keep source material open in one tile while writing your synthesis in another
Project planning: Open your roadmap, task list, and AI assistant together
Team meetings: Take notes in one tile while reviewing the agenda or past meeting notes in another
Exploration: Follow a chain of connections in the graph while keeping your main project note in view
Pro Tips
Drag freely: Anything in the sidebar can become a tile—experiment to find the layout that works best
Compare notes: Open two notes side by side to draft improvements or merge ideas
AI as a companion: Keep an AI chat open as a persistent tile while you write—great for brainstorming or editing help
Context switching without switching: Use tiles to keep multiple contexts alive in a single workspace
