Good to know
Worth knowing
- Drag pages into groups you name. A Koi chat dragged into Recents stays there.
- Deleted pages wait in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
- Settings, General, Export as Markdown writes every page to a folder, ready for Obsidian.
- On a call, "make me a page comparing these plans" makes one for you.
