Docs/Right sidebar/Heading graph

Heading graph

The Heading graph panel draws your note's headings as a tree you can pan and click around — a starting node for the note itself, with each heading branching off the section that contains it. It shows the same headings as the Outline panel, just in a different shape: reach for it when you want to see how a long note branches at a glance instead of reading down a list.

How it works

The tree updates itself as you write. Each heading becomes a node, connected back to the section it sits inside, so your top-level sections fan out from the note and their subsections branch out one step further. Deeper headings are styled differently from top-level ones, so the tiers are easy to tell apart.

Click a heading
Jumps the editor to that heading, just like clicking it in the Outline. A small toggle above the tree lets you choose whether a single click jumps straight there, or first selects the heading and needs a double-click (or Enter) to jump.
Pan and zoom
Drag to move the tree around, and scroll or pinch to zoom in and out. The view re-fits on its own when you resize the sidebar.
A starting node named after the note branches into its main sections, two of which have subsections of their own one step further out, all laid out top-down with connecting lines. A small toggle above the tree sets how clicks behave.
The Heading graph for a multi-section note
It's about structure, not links

The lines here show which section contains which — nothing more. A link you type inside a heading doesn't connect it to anything; the tree only cares about how your headings nest.

Heading graph or Outline?

Both panels show the same headings for a note — they'll never disagree. The difference is just how they look:

Outline
A compact, indented list you can collapse and filter by typing. Quick to scan and the better everyday choice for most notes.
Heading graph
An interactive tree you can pan around. Best for taking in the overall shape of a note at a glance — how many sections it has and how deep each one goes.
