# Working with notes

![Screen Capture](./notes.gif)

Notes are single markdown files linked to the today's journal entry. `journal:note` (in the command palette using the shortcut `Ctrl+Shift+P`) opens a dialog to enter the title of a new page for notes. The title is also the filename (stored typically as subfolder in the journal structure, e.g. folder ´25´ in folder ´10´ if today is 10/25).  Local links are automatically added to the current day's journal entry.

You can also use the journal's smart input to create a note. Press `Ctrl+Shift+J` and prefix your text with the flag `note`. It will then create a new page using the remaining text in the input as title.

Notes are automatically linked in the according journal entry (of the same day, when the note has been created).

## Support for Scopes
You can add scope tags at the beginning of the note title to store notes in a project-specific location.

If you enter something like "#projectA Workshop Minutes" as title, the new document will be stored in the base directory configured for that scope instead of the default journal directory.
