The inbox is the default destination for quickly captured notes. When
a note is created without picking a location first, it lands in the inbox.
This makes it easy to quickly capture notes and sort them later.
Where the inbox is used
The New note button in the Launch Bar .
The global Create note into inbox shortcut (default Ctrl +Alt +P ).
The New note action in the tray icon menu .
The Web Clipper extension.
The Create note option offered when a search finds no match, in Jump to & command palette ,
in an empty tab and in the @ completion of a text note.
Setting a note inbox
To create a note inbox, apply the #inbox label to
it.
Only one note should carry this label. If there are multiple notes, only
one will be used by the application.
If there is no inbox note, Trilium will fall back to today's day note ,
creating it and its calendar ancestors as needed. If the journal has been
removed altogether, the note is created at the top level instead of a new
journal being built for it.
Workspace inboxes
Each workspace can have its own inbox,
set via the #workspaceInbox label.
When a new note is created while hoisted in a workspace, the location
is determined in the following order:
A note carrying the #workspaceInbox label in that workspace.
A note carrying the #inbox within that workspace.
Today's day note , if the workspace
has a #workspaceCalendarRoot.
The workspace root note itself.
