  Nice job, @BryanCollins ! Short, good overview.

  You favour tags, searches and saved searches for finding material in your Zettelkasten, and do not use as frequently links and, I suspect, structure notes. That's my approach as well, although clearly how people utilize the different ZK tools in the Archive is a personal choice, to fit their workflow and needs.

  I noticed two things:

  1. You don't use UIDs for your individual notes/zettels, which is entirely workable. I don't think I've seen anyone give an example of that on this forum, though. In past forum posts, you'll see a lot of discussion on the right kind of UID to use (e.g., numerical, Luhman, etc.), but clearly one can have a ZK with no UIDs, as long as the note/file titles are long enough to be unique themselves.
  2. You showed an example of inserting images into your ZK, but only the link to the image showed up. I'm not sure why that was the case. If referenced in the right form, the image does show in the Archive text. For example, here is one (of many) from my Zettelkasten (Note that "media" is the subfolder within my ZK folder where all my images are stored).

  

  Anyway, congrats on a concise, well-presented video!

  @BryanCollins sweet, thanks!

  I bet there's a trailing character in the line with the image somewhere that prevents the preview. 🤔
