Notes

Tip

For guidelines on how to write and structure notes, see Spaced Repetition Guides

Getting started

Tag any markdown files for review with the note review tag, which by default is #review.

The note will appear under New in the Note Review Queue in the right pane.

Note

When you tag a note with #review the note doesn't immediately appear in the review queue. You will need to first click on the Flashcard Review Icon or the Spaced Repetition Status Area for the queue to update

Note Review Queue

1. The Note Review Queue
   
2. The Note Review Deck for tag #review
   
3. The new notes - i.e. those tagged with #review but have yet to be reviewed
   
4. The notes scheduled for review on August 1
   
5. The notes scheduled for review on August 31
   

Displaying the Note Review Queue

By default, the Note Review Queue is displayed when the plugin starts. This can be changed with the Enable note review pane on startup setting.

The Note Review Queue can also be shown by using the Open Notes Review Queue in sidebar command.

Reviewing

Open a file, read & review it. Once done, choose either the Review: Easy, Review: Good, or the Review: Hard option on the file menu (the three dots). Select Easy, Good, or Hard depend on how well you comprehend the material being reviewed.

Alternatively, you can right click on the file within the note review queue, and access the same options:

The note will then be scheduled appropriately by the learning algorithm, and the markdown file updated:

Keyboard Shortcuts

The Easy, Good, and Hard review result can also be selected from the plugin's command list.

This is less practical than the methods described above, but does enable the definition of keyboard shortcuts. You can create custom hotkeys for the review result in Settings -> HotKeys.

Selecting a Note for Review

There are a few ways to open a note for review:

• Open a note via the standard Obsidian features
• Double click on a note title from the Note Review Queue
• Click on the Spaced Repetition Status Area in the status bar at the bottom of the screen
• Select the command Open a note to review review

There are also the following relevant options:

• Open a random note for review
• Open next note automatically after a review

Multiple Note Review Decks

By default, there is a single review deck called #review.

This default tag can be changed in the settings. Multiple review decks can also be specified.

Spaced Repetition Status Area

Review: N note(s) on the status bar at the bottom of the screen shows how many notes one has to review today (Today's notes + overdue notes).

Clicking on that opens one of the notes for review.
