Notes, Tasks, and Image Attachments

Notes

Beyond its title, a topic can hold a free-form note.

1. Select a single topic
2. Open the Note tab in the Inspector
3. Type your note. It's saved automatically when you select a different topic (there's no need to confirm)

Notes support Markdown syntax.

• iOS: Notes have two modes, View and Edit. In View mode, headings, lists, quotes, and so on render as formatted text; tapping the body switches to Edit mode. In Edit mode, you edit the raw Markdown text directly
• macOS: Notes are edited as plain text. You can write Markdown syntax, but it isn't rendered as formatted text

You can't edit a note while multiple topics are selected, or while no topic is selected.

Viewing Task Attributes

Topics with task attributes created in iThoughtsX display the same way in Thoughtree.

• A progress badge appears on the topic
• Selecting a topic shows a box with details such as effort, remaining, and cost
• The Hide Completed Tasks toggle on the Layout tab lets you temporarily hide completed tasks (see Layout Settings)
• Use the menu Topic → Arrange → Arrange Children by Task Status to sort child topics by task status

Attaching Images

You can attach an image to a topic and use it as the displayed image.

• macOS: Selecting a topic shows a capsule (the inline format bar) on the canvas. Choose the Image button in it, then pick an image file from the file picker
• iOS: Tap the Image button in the bottom toolbar to open your photo library, then choose the image you want to add

In both cases, you need to select the topic first.
