Knowledge Graph & Backlinks

See how your notes connect together. Explore a visual web of your ideas and discover related thoughts automatically.

What is the Graph View?

Every time you link two notes using [[brackets]], DaVinci Notes draws an invisible connection between them. The Graph View visualizes these links as an interactive constellation of glowing dots. The more connections a note has, the bigger its dot becomes!

Using the Local Graph

If your main graph gets too crowded with hundreds of notes, switch to the Local Graph tab. It shows only the current note and the notes directly tied to it, helping you focus on the topic at hand without getting lost.

Click to Navigate Clicking any dot in the graph immediately opens that note in your editor.
