This is the first time I am seeing someone so passionate about toggling. Impressive by the way.
I literally have thousands of hours of written notes from when I started back around 2014 where it all began. I had unknowingly swallowed the red pill of life and started to control my life myself. Understanding every aspect of life, self-awareness, goal setting, etc. I wish I had Obsidian when I started.
"Clarity
is illusive,
by perspective."
ᙬꝂ
can I ask what you're using all those notes for?
Never saw much practical use for the graph view until this. Now I can definitely see the potential of visualization in my workflow when it's customizable.
Same here. And great to hear!
The new Graph View is a gamechanger
Yes, in subtle ways! I'm sure we'll discover some handy workflows in the days and weeks to come
This was a surprisingly relaxing video to watch.
I feel like there's been a flood of content about how to use Obsidian lately and most of it hasn't grabbed my interest. Definitely glad I decided to watch your overview!
Glad to hear this Shanna!
This is one thing I was looking for. I knew filters existed, but I hadn't quite looked at it in enough detail, so I didn't realize that I could filter based on paths. So now I was able to use "-path:Journal" to just instantly exclude all my notes in the Journal folder, which are my daily notes (which I also named using the international date format, same as you seem to have done), which were completely clogging up my graph view before. Thank you!
Excellent to hear this Vincent! Yeah, the path filtering is pretty great
So excited to get a sneak preview of the graph view by you! Makes understanding your workflow even more understandable given this new context :))
You can be an Obsidian Insider too and get this version of Obsidian. It's just a setting in toggle on in the settings area.
Thanks for making this video! Obsidian is a tool I've been growing a lot of interest in recently for taking technical notes, and I find it extremely useful and powerful 👍🏼
Thank you very much! I'm from Peru and I've been a fan of Obsidian for a while now, and tutorials like this are really great. Please let there be more tutorials, I'll stay tuned :)
Thanks Luis. More to come in the next several days :)
Woah!!!
Nick I love your videos. Your presentation style is so fresh!!
Thanks Jo, more to come tonight!
This is phenomenal. This is your 2nd video that is convincing me, A LOT, to move to Obsidian from Roam. Your videos are brilliant. Wonderful articulation of use-cases. I am not an inside member yet but this is great. I am wondering I should wait for this update to get rolled out.
Wow, thank you! You can update to Insider at any time in the Settings actually. Also, the two apps are similar but different, so it really depends on You which one works best for your scenario and set of use cases.
Awesome. Looking forward to your LYT release. Cheers
Me too ;)
I have been waiting for colour coding exploration in graph view since I started with Obsidian and am so glad it's here! It was interesting watching this video after testing out your Cybertron theme with its customisation for graph view. I much prefer your implementation of colour so I adapted it within the Pisum theme by MooddoomM. Thanks for the walk through!
Really happy to hear this Amy. And the Pisum theme is really impressive too. MooddoomM added a few extra CSS tricks (including the outline vertical line, I commandeered)

Wish you would have attended. The whole purpose was to make the kit more useful for you.
instaBlaster
I've been waiting for this one
Hopefully it delivered!
Thanks for the video. I have some great ideas of where to use these in my workflows.
Happy to hear! Please share as your workflows develop!
The layout sliders can be really helpful if you want to find clusters of thoughts or pathes of thoughts. Get rid of orphans and existing notes, filter it down to what you want (I also use the file: and path: search syntax as well as the negation of search with "-" in front). once you are down to a still very chaotic looking graph. crank the center force down the link forces up and the repel forces to. this way the overlapping clusters "explode" to separate visually clear seeable blobs or train of thoughts
All great tips, thanks for sharing!
great tips thanks, i wasn´t using the existing notes before but now I will surely do
Glad it was helpful!
Ok, I watched it just until 2:57 and I have instant goosebumps. It's insane.
The graph view has the ability to do that :)
this is so cool. these are the kind of apps I expected from the future!
Ha, well said!
This is so exciting!
'tis!
mixing the custom Regex searches with the graph filter is also really useful! you can find email addresses, or keywords or exclude certain tags and still use the boolean search values. I'm digging the new graph myself, it ALMOST made me re-think my workflow with tags 🤣️
You've piqued my interest with the Regex searches. Please share more if/when time allows!
@@linkingyourthinking Yeah! for instance put your own email address in a few notes, and then in the filter instead of a word or tag to search for use this: /([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/
:)
Regex is powerful stuff. I've been resistant to develop my skills in that direction, but I shouldn't be. Thanks for this example!
@@linkingyourthinking a little goes a long way! I've got a regex note in Obsidian i can send your way if you'd like, kind of cliff notes on some of the syntax :)
Bryan Jenks hi can you send that to me as well? I’m a bit of a query fiend in Roam and I want to be able to do similar sorts of searches in obsidian

Was waiting for this functionalities. Awesome. Waiting for ability to download the graph data itself.
Hmm interesting. What type of data would you expect in a download like that?
@@linkingyourthinking At the very least node labels and two column with nodes. Would then be able to begin doing some graph analytics. Going further a property graph model like that implemented in graph database Neo4J, for example, would be best. Labels and property on nodes (notes) and labels on edges (direction).
Stunning
Thanks Kamal!
Thank you very useful !
You are welcome!
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Wow. This is fantastic man! What community theme are you using? Thanks for making this!
Cybertron. I love hearing when other people enjoy this theme :)
Love the graph view. I hope they add a feature where you can set persistent rules, like "filter notes from X folder" or "filter notes with X tag." I realize you can do this with the search function, but it would be nice if you could generate rules like that that can be turned on and off, sort of like the groups feature.
I wonder if someone could right an extension for this.
Every single time I see this graph, mostly from users with thousands of nodes, and growing, over time, and changing... it seems I am seeing the brain forming process, from infancy to adulthood. As we grow we collect more, and almost everything connects with something, and this forms our minds, the thinking process, and those "movements" into new connections, those are creativity in it's the process of creating new thoughts.
You have survival of the fittest as an orphan note, and survival of the fittest TK which is not an orphan. Just something I noticed, I'm not sure what TK means. The new graph options are absolutely amazing and it definitely increases my love of Obsidian even further. I can't wait to see the use cases people come up for it, and the new CSS themes that incorporate it as well. I enjoyed your video.
Keen observations! "TK" means "to come" in the world of publishing (apparently), so my TK notes should mostly all be orphans. The other version of "Survival of the Fittest" shouldn't be there, but it seems I left off the TK while referencing it in a note (smh).
Me too, excited to see where people take it!
Thanks for helping me understand how the graph view can really be a useful tool, as opposed to something cool to look at...for a while ;-)
Please do a video on orphan notes. I see a lot of my notes listed as "orphan" notes when I have them linked. Why????
I'm puzzled at the ~10:30 mark. Is Groundhog Day an existing file? One would think so, because (if I understand correctly) only existing files can have a hashtag, which in this case would be the hashtag #develop. But when you toggle to allow for "Existing files only" then Groundhog Day disappears, meaning that it is *not* an existing file. I would love to use this #developing feature - but I'm totally confused about this point. Thanks for your great vids.
I love the video!
I can't figure out why some of your nodes are larger than others though, can you point me in that direction?
Thanks!
I forgot offhand, but go here: obsidian.md/community
How is that colour of nodes changes ?
Is there a way to keep the graph the same image? Every time I open the graph It rearrange itself and I feel lost when trying to find some notes that are titled by dates?
hey while using backlinks i had a doubt
suppose i write this somewhere in a note to access heading 03 of file 1 :
this backlink takes you to [[file01#heading03]]
then in preview mode it shows something like this :
this backlink takes you to file 1->heading03
but what if I want it to look something like tis in preview mode :
this backlink takes you to CLICKME
and when I click on " CLICKME " it takes me to heading 03 of file 1
how can I achieve this ???
basically I want CLICKE to store the backlink and hide it from users in preview mode
11:05 boat notes
"Blocks of Atomic Thought" ... just a phrase I use...
Do you leave spaces in the note's name or do you do something else to bring a header in the graph view?
Not sure I completely understand. Do you mean having each note's headers show up in the graph view as well?
@@linkingyourthinking Sorry, I worded that really poorly. In your graph, most of the nodes have well formatted names, with spaces and lower+upper case letters (which caused me some issues in the past), and I was wondering if those were the actual file names or something else?
I enjoy all of your tutorials. I think I've got a big problem. I made a template but I wasn't paying attention to the graph view at the time. I created hundreds of notes using that template. I since then discovered that a local graph view is more useful than the global graph with hundreds of nodes which is cool to look at but not useful for the public viewers. I use obsidian publish to publish my library of notes. Is it too late to to switch over to the local graph view for all those notes? We are talking about 100's of notes that will be affected. Gulp!
Hey man, how to get a big MOC ??
Thanks for this - How do you show/hide note file names on the graph? Is there a way to change font size? Mine displays note names when I hover over them but yours seems to have them there all the time.
It's in the graph filters controls. (If you need more guidance: obsidian.md/community)
@@linkingyourthinking i realised i could make them display. just that thr text displays incredibly small. maybe its the 4k screen or something. can't seem to find anything on the forum though
@@tomkemp1276 Yeah, I don't know about sizing
With the search in the graph view, does that work with all search operators?
Hey Robert! As far as I can tell, the answer is yes. Including Regex, which as you know, Bryan Jenks is proficient in!
It would be amazing to tag a main node as a separate color.
There's a way to do that, you just have to be specific with your graph filters-it's a newish feature
I have a question about the graph view, could you please guide me on this:
If I have a folder for a course "Math" and in it I create another folder for "Assignments" that has pages A1, A2, A3 etc.
Similarly, I have the same thing for another course "English".
In the graph view I can only see pages but they're not connected to any Folders.
So it just sort of gets confusing when organising.
The one roundabout way I've found out is to just create pages "Math", "English" and then create backlinks from each assignment within these "master" pages.
Just curious if there's any other way.
Also, another stupid question I know, but why are some of your nodes bigger than the other nodes? What does it represent?
you're thinking in a good problem-solving way. many ways to accomplish things. start small and test
In the graph view, is it possible to filter multiple terms or use regex?
Yes!
@@linkingyourthinking thanks. I'm sure you must have heard this million times :) Are you choosing Obsidian because it's free and local - and offers the same kind of functionality. I'm sure plugins will make it super powerful.
Markdown and local. Plus a hidden reason no one talks about that I’ll articulate soon
I like the graph view from a big picture perspective and to find orphaned notes and non-existent notes, but otherwise, meh, kinda just a gimmick. More filters may change that.
I like your #boat concept. I just leave everything #draft until it is complete and linked, but the distinction may be useful.
#draft works just a well. #boat is just a quirky choice on my part. Sounds like they are mostly serving the same purpose
I am actually a fan of this graph view, but I am wondering how linking notes can help me in the future, the idea of linking notes is still opaque to me, it would be appreciated if you make a video on this, or refer me some link.
I'll have videos posting next week to SPECIFICALLY address the Why of linking and the benefits that come from it.
It's not an end product and shouldn't read like one. Not sure where I communicated that the kit was supposed to read like a book. It shouldn't. And it shouldn't replace a book either. However, it's an internal tool that can aid in creating a book. The kit is a "best practices" guide and the webinar unpacked some of those "best practices". Hope this helps
9:07 : Newton's 1st law of conversation?🤠 I actually googled for it.
I'd also be really interested in viewing *only* orphans or *only* files that don't exist
Good points on both counts. I'm sure that functionality would be a stretch to add at this point, so really, it's just a matter of time (imo) before you have those options-either as part of the core of Obsidian or as a plug-in.
How do you change the Node color to blue, when the cybertron default is yellow?
It's in the CSS file. How much CSS do you know?
Linking Your Thinking I can navigate myself in it, so if it’s just changing an rgb value, i’ll be able to get at it!
Why do you ignore the "groups" , I literally can't find explanation on them , everyone just ignores that for some reason
👍🙏
i want to colored it my self, HOW.
How can I color the nodes ?
There are some things you can tweak in the CSS, I can't remember offhand but the Obsidian Discord folks can point you in the right direction
@@linkingyourthinking Hi, thanks. Looking for that feature - which is extremely useful - but I did not find any solution. Could you share how to do it please? Best. D.
@@damianoparravano7022 »» Go to Obsidian Discord and ask. They will help
@@linkingyourthinking Thanks so much! Best. DP
👋
hi
I really like your workflow for seeing which pages to develop based on whether or not the file exists, I have a similar workflow here ua-cam.com/video/F2To62BcMdI/v-deo.html
However, your workflow here seems to rely on me not having created the pages. Sometimes I'll write a few sentences in that page just to get me started. Any chance that the graph view might also let me add a toggle like "at least x words"?
Hey thanks! I just checked out your video link and 'great minds think alike' haha... Your question is a good one. I can't answer it, but I can suggest a workflow that achieves a similar result in practice: just "postpend" those 'notes with just a few words' as you make them with TK or something similar.
For example, if I finally got around to create the non-existing note called "Survival of the Fittest TK" I would just keep the "TK" in the filename name to denote that it's a super rough note. This shows what I mean: gyazo.com/0d195c58321cba1ab14e1ebdc4d19f8e
I don't understand the concept of toggling off "existing files only" - how can you see something that doesn't exist?
@Lumynis Ah I see, thank you! Very well explained :)
Do you really have to learn technical coding langauge to make use of this app?
I heard you have to learn markdown. So cant you simply just write text and enjoy the app like notion? Or do you have to learn a coding language.
I can't code anything. I can't program anything. Yes you can just simply write text. If you want to add **bold** or *italics*, then you just do what I did there. SUPER simple.
@@linkingyourthinking Thanks dude. Some reviewers really complicate things. Will be on lookout for more of your stuff.
Imagine if all the information on the internet was searchable like this and bound by blockchain to ensure it filtered out all the fake facts and stories
I don't quite understand why it's useful to have a million random notes.
