Sessions: bring back a whole set of tabs in one click
Type # in the palette and the board narrows to one tag
A literature sprint on one page
Two weeks, thirty sources and a review at the end. The board keeps them in three named columns: Sources for the papers, Methods and writing for datasets and tools, and This sprint for the countdown and the plan. The colored dots on the links are tags: orange for read next, green for key sources and violet for methods
Tags that answer a question
Type # in the command palette to list your tags, pick key-source and the board shows only those links, with a chip under the header. Clear all brings everything back. Tags work in every folder, so one filter covers papers, datasets and tools alike
Sessions for the tabs you work in
The toolbar’s Sessions tool saves the tabs of one window under a name, outside your bookmarks. Reopen a session later and its tabs come back as background tabs while your current ones stay put. Here Sleep and memory: day 1 and Methods deep dive hold the reading and data tabs of one working day each
