Lesson 2: Why You Should Outline and Link Your Notes

  1. What is an outline structure?

An outline structure is a hierarchy of sorts. It creates relationships between nested blocks and adds context to a given block in a given branch

  1. What purpose do links and tags have in queries?

Both links and tags structure the data in Logseq.

  1. Why does the parent-child relationship between blocks matter in Logseq?

It gives context to the child block[s].

  1. How do only show blocks in the Linked References section that have a specific value?

Use the filter option [funnel] to include (click on value) only those values which you want shown.

  1. How do only show blocks in the Linked References section that do not have a specific value?

Exclude them by shift-clicking the value in order to hide them from view.


This lesson was extremely helpful in laying a better foundational understanding of exactly how Logseq functions. While I’ve been using Logseq for several months now, I only had a vague understanding of these functions and their relationships to each other.

I know a few light bulbs finally came on for me while working through this lesson!

Thank you again, @Ramses!
