Recommended workflow

Create a local case vault; separate observations from hypotheses; link each claim to a source; maintain a timeline; restrict plugins; export reviewed notes for reporting.

Language notes

English-first editorial profile. Verify current interface languages and source-language coverage; multilingual input does not guarantee equal analytical quality.

Limits

Strengths, caveats, and risk

Strengths

Plain-text files and backlinks make research portable and easy to version.

Limitations

Plugins, syncing and an overcomplicated vault can create maintenance or disclosure risks.

Backlinks and graph views represent your notes, not independently verified relationships.

Risk note

Backlinks and graph views represent your notes, not independently verified relationships.

Use permitted documents, minimize personal data and review upload or publication permissions.

Trust note

Keep original source files and inspect every transformation used to support a published claim. Official-source desk research only; not hands-on tested. Tool-specific caution: Backlinks and graph views represent your notes, not independently verified relationships.
