Inline connections
See connections for specific paragraphs, sections, and even individual sentences.
Connections icons appear next to blocks while you write and surface semantically related blocks or notes based on your configured threshold.
Hover the connections icon that appears inline with your content to surface a pop‑over of semantically related blocks from across your vault.
