StrataNote treats tags as a first-class way to organize notes across folders. You can write tags inside your notes, browse them from a dedicated sidebar tab, preview them on document cards, and see tag-based relationships on the interactive graph.

​
Adding Tags to a Note

Add tags anywhere inside a note using the standard #tag syntax:
Tags support nested hierarchies with the / separator (for example, #project/alpha), so you can group related tags without flattening them into a single namespace.

​
Tags Sidebar Tab

Open the Tags tab in the left sidebar to browse every tag detected across your vault.
  • Tag list: All tags are listed alphabetically with a badge showing how many notes reference each tag.
  • Nested groups: Tags with / in their name are grouped into a collapsible tree so you can drill down from a parent tag (e.g. project) into its children (project/alpha, project/beta).
  • Click to filter: Selecting a tag filters the current view to notes that reference it.

​
Inline Tag Chips

When you open a note in preview mode, tags parsed from the note body are rendered as inline chips at the top of the document. Chips are clickable — selecting one jumps you back to the Tags sidebar with that tag pre-selected, making it easy to pivot between related notes.

​
Searching by Tag

The search panel supports a strict tag filter in addition to full-text and semantic modes. Prefix your query with # to match only tags:
Results are limited to notes that actually contain the tag, without matching similar words in the note body. See Searching the Knowledge Base for the other search modes.

​
Tags on the Graph

The interactive graph maps tag relationships alongside Wikilinks and semantic similarity. Notes that share a tag are connected by a lightweight tag edge, so clusters of tagged content emerge naturally next to the existing link and similarity clusters. See Interactive Connections Graph for filtering and layout controls.
