Wiki Links

Wiki links connect one note to another.

Use them when a note depends on another concept, decision, customer, project, or process.

Section titled “Add a wiki link”
  1. Type [[ in the editor or choose the wiki link action.
  2. Search for the target note.
  3. Select the note.

Orbit uses the link to build backlinks and graph relationships.

Section titled “Link to long-lived concepts”

Good wiki link targets:

  • A project overview.
  • A decision log.
  • A customer page.
  • A process page.
  • A glossary entry.
  • A recurring meeting note hub.
Section titled “Unresolved links”

An unresolved link points to a note that Orbit cannot find yet.

This can happen when:

  • The target note has not been created.
  • The note was renamed or moved outside Orbit.
  • The link text does not match the target.
  • You do not have access to the target note.

Create or fix the target note from Orbit when you want the link to resolve.

Section titled “Link renames”

When a note is renamed in Orbit, Orbit can update known references. If notes were edited outside Orbit or links are ambiguous, review important links after the rename.

Embeds and context

Section titled “Embeds and context”

Some notes can include embedded or contextual references to other notes. Use this sparingly. A link is usually better than duplicating another note’s content.
