DEVONtechnologies<p>Tip of the day: In many documents, there is a need to divide content, breaking it into discrete sections. Navigating those sections can be done with the help of a table of contents. Fortunately, <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/DEVONthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEVONthink</span></a> can display such a table in certain documents. Here’s how you can use it. <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/devonthinktogo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devonthinktogo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pdf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pdf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pkm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/tipoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tipoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workflow</span></a> <a href="https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220920-table-of-contents" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">devontechnologies.com/blog/202</span><span class="invisible">20920-table-of-contents</span></a></p>
Lou Plummer 💖<p>If Obsidian users are willing to spend some time with a good LLM and install Python, you can do some cool things to your vault.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>For Mac and iOS users of Obsidian, you can really level up the integration of many OS features via Shortcuts using Actions for Obsidian.

Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>I love Fridays because not only is it the end of the week, it's the day where I get to indulge in my PKM obsession by closing off my week's work by documenting it in my productivity system.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>One thing I dislike about Obsidian sync - when moving a folder to a new location, it has to delete all the files and redownload them taking a VERY LONG TIME even on a fast broadband connection. I moved my bookmarks (1300+ notes) - it took over an hour to sync. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKM</span></a></p>
DEVONtechnologies<p>Tip of the day: We are big advocates of being diligent in your backups, especially if your data is important to you. Full and incremental machine backups are a great idea, but you may want a specific backup for the data of our apps too. Here is, how you do that. <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backups</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/devonagent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devonagent</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/devonthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devonthink</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pkm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/tipoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tipoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/websearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>websearch</span></a> <a href="https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20250204-backup-data" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">devontechnologies.com/blog/202</span><span class="invisible">50204-backup-data</span></a></p>

Lou Plummer 💖<p>I've used Obsidian and the same vault with dozens of plugins simultaneously on multiple Macs, a Linux box, Windows 10, iOS and iPadOS and never had an issue I could assign to cross-platform issues. It just works. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKM</span></a></p>
DEVONtechnologies<p>Tip of the day: Annotations are text documents in <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/DEVONthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEVONthink</span></a> that are attached to another document, for example a <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/PDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDF</span></a>. They are a simple but powerful tool for making notes about a document and can therefore be used for everything from research to schoolwork to journaling and more.

Lou Plummer 💖<p>In Obsidian, I find it's better to use the Iconize plugin than to include actual emojis in file and folder names because some backup and syncing software choke on emojis. <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Obsidian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Obsidian</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/ObsidianMD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ObsidianMD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/PKM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKM</span></a></p>

DEVONtechnologies<p>Tip of the day: Smart groups are a good way to view items matching specific criteria, like all the flagged <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/PDFs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PDFs</span></a> in your <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/DEVONthink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEVONthink</span></a> database. While it’s easy enough to make a smart group, if you find yourself doing the same search over and over, you can use it to create a smart group in a few clicks. <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/pkm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pkm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/tipoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tipoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.devontechnologies.com/tags/workflow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workflow</span></a> <a href="https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">devontechnologies.com/blog/202</span><span class="invisible">40102-reuse-search-devonthink-smartgroup</span></a></p>
