Links, backlinks, and graph

Wikilinks

Link one doc to another with a wikilink: [[name]]. In Preview the link is clickable and jumps to the target. A target resolves to a doc by, in order:

• its filename without extension ([[architecture]] → architecture.md),
• its relative path without extension ([[adr/0001-choice]]), or
• its frontmatter title.

Matching is case-insensitive and the .md extension is optional, so [[CLAUDE]], [[claude]], and [[claude.md]] all resolve to CLAUDE.md.

Type [[ to get autocomplete of the names in your workspace.

Backlinks

The Backlinks tab in the Inspector (right panel) shows every doc that links to the doc you're currently viewing, with the line where the link appears. Click a backlink to open that doc.

Backlinks are incoming links. If doc A contains [[B]], then A shows up in B's backlinks — not in A's. So a link you write in a file appears on the target's backlinks list, not the file you wrote it in.

Graph view

Open the graph (the network icon in the top bar, or Open graph view in the command palette) to see your docs as nodes connected by their wikilinks. Click a node to open that doc. It's a quick way to spot orphaned notes and dense clusters of related material.
