Source capture

Turn an incoming source into useful knowledge.

A document is only the beginning. Choose a Block type, add the source, and review a prepared title, properties, and note body before anything is created.

01

Capture different kinds of source

Start from pasted text, a public page, a photo, a PDF, or a saved .eml email. The saved Block retains the original source as an attachment.

02

Use the format you need

A type can explain how to interpret future sources. Review missing fields and correct extracted details, rather than treating the preview as established fact.

03

Split a source when useful

Prepare several Blocks from one source, review every proposed entry, and select the ones to create. Each saved Block keeps its own source copy.

FROM IDEA TO USEFUL CONTEXT

Put it into practice.

  1. Choose a Block type

    Open From source and select the format that matches the incoming material.

  2. Prepare and check

    Add the source and inspect the extracted title, fields, and Markdown against the original.

  3. Create the selected Blocks

    Save the entries you want, then link them to the project or research question they support.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Questions, answered.

Does preparing a source save a note?

No. Preparation creates an editable preview. A Block is saved only after you choose to create it.

Can every website be captured?

No. Public page capture does not run website scripts or follow redirects. Paste the page text if it cannot be read. File sources are limited to 5 MB and require available workspace storage.

Start with a note. Add structure, connect an agent, and keep the useful context together.
