Cross-link knowledge

The benefit of a knowledge database (wiki) is that you can cross-link the individual entries with your knowledge. This allows you to refer to other interesting content and easily switch from one entry to another suitable entry while reading.

In smasi App you can set any number of links to individual entries within a collection. There are two options for this:

Link directly to other entries within the text

Of course, as usual, you can add links to individual words directly in a text:

To do this, select the desired word and choose the link icon in the toolbar, which allows you to either select an existing entry or create a new one directly.

Managed link list

The advantage of a managed link list is that you can list several links below each other. The names are taken directly from the title of the entry by default and are automatically updated when the entry is renamed.

In addition, there is the option to display an action so that new entries can be added directly in read mode. To apply a managed link list, simply insert a new section of type ‘Links’.

Backlinks always up-to-date

If you want to know which entries already link to the currently opened entry, there is a practical backlink list in the smasi App. In the reading mode of an entry, you will find the 'Backlinks' item in the menu at the top right:

This will give you a current list of all entries that have a link to this entry.

Dead links are a thing of the past

As soon as you delete an entry, all associated links in the corresponding entries are also automatically removed. If required, you can use the backlink list to check in advance which links will be affected when the entry is deleted.
