Reuse content with mirrors and templates

Two ways to reuse content without duplicating it.


Mirrors

A mirror is a live copy of a node that appears in another part of your document. Edit either one and both update. There's no original and no copy, they're the same node, just visible in two places. This is useful when a piece of content belongs in more than one context.

A task that spans two projects, a reference node you want visible from multiple places, or a shared checklist that several people work from. With a mirror you don't have to choose where it lives, and you don't have to remember to keep two versions in sync.

To mirror a node, open its bullet menu and select 'Mirror' or type /Mirror.

Templates

A template is a node structure you've set up to reuse. Tag any node with #template and it becomes a pressable button that creates a fresh copy of itself and its children whenever you need one.

This is handy for anything you do repeatedly: meeting notes, project kickoffs, weekly reviews. Set the structure up once, then create a new instance from the button or via the /Add from template command.
