How to launch a mind map from note view

You can also open a mind map from:

  • Command palette — "Open mind map view"
  • File menu — Right-click a file, select "Mind map view"
  • Ribbon — Click the icon in the left sidebar

Create a Flashcard

Add an osmosis code fence anywhere in a markdown file:

```osmosis
What is the powerhouse of the cell?
***
The mitochondria
```

The *** separator divides the front (question) from the back (answer).

Enable Cards for a Note

Cards aren't generated unless you opt in. Add this to your note's frontmatter:

---
osmosis-cards: true
---

Or configure automatic inclusion by folder or tag in Settings > Osmosis.
