+
+# Objects
+
+### What is an Object?
+
+Forget what you already know about knowledge management tools. 
+
+At Anytype we have created the concept that everything you create is an Object. Pages, Notes, Recipes, Books, Movies, Audio, Humans, _everything!_ 
+
+These are all **Objects** that are organized and categorized by **Types**. 
+
+You can connect different **Types** by **Properties** and see how this is visualized on the **Graph**.
+
+You will see in your **Settings** that you can create new Types. 
+
+In short, an Object is a generalizing term for what you are creating. If it is a page, note, or other Type that you have created. 
+
+The Object will be organized by the Type of object that it is.  
+
+It is any node in your graph. The smallest linkable unit. Still classified with types.  
+
+### Ways to Create Objects
+
+#### Sidebar
+
+When clicking the plus button, you’ll immediately create a new object with the type that is set as your default object type in your space settings. 
+
+When clicking the arrow button, you'll be presented with a menu of your types which you can sort to your liking. You can then choose which one you want to create.
+
+<div><figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (41).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (42).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
+
+#### Command Menu
+
+When working in the editor you can type `/` to bring up the command menu. If you already know which Type you want to use, you can just type it directly. If you're not sure which Type you want to use, you can type `Objects` instead for the below menu to appear with all of your Types listed. Simply select the Object Type you'd like to create and it will be linked at your current place.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (183).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>Command menu > Objects</p></figcaption></figure>
+
+#### Use a Shortcut
+
+For a quick creation of a new Object, you can use this shortcut: `Cmd / Ctrl + N`
+
+This will perform the same action as clicking the "+" sign in the sidebar.
+
+Additionally, you can use `Cmd / Ctrl + Opt / Alt + N` to perform the same action as clicking the arrow sign in the sidebar.
+
+#### Turn Into Object
+
+If you are working on something in an existing Object and would like to transform only a certain block into an Object, you can do that through the action menu by either:
+
+1. Hovering to the left side of the block that you are working on and clicking the 3 dots.
+2. Using the `Cmd / Ctrl + /` keyboard shortcut.

+
+### Locating Your Objects
+
+#### All Objects
+
+To see all of the objects you've created in your space, you can use the [anytype-library.md](../customize-and-edit-the-sidebar/anytype-library.md "mention") system widget.
+
+<div><figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (37).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (38).png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
+
+#### Graph
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (39).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+To find all of your objects and how they are connected, you can look to the [graph.md](../../advanced/feature-list-by-platform/graph.md "mention") for your main source of truth.
+
+#### Search
+
+To navigate to the search, either head to your sidebar, and click on the search button or use the `Cmd / Ctrl + K` keyboard shortcut.&#x20;
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (40).png" alt="" width="323"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+#### Bin
+
+If you've previously removed some objects from your [space.md](../install-and-setup/space.md "mention"), they will appear in your [finding-your-objects.md](../../advanced/data-and-security/data-storage-and-deletion/finding-your-objects.md "mention") unless you've already permanently deleted them.

+
+# Blocks
+
+Your object is made up of different types of blocks to organize your information, and the place where all of these Blocks live together is called the Canvas. Anytype's block-based editor works very similarly to that of blogging sites or website builders.
+
+All block styles originate from the command menu, which you can access by either clicking on the orange `+` symbol on the left-hand side of your editor, or typing `/`. 
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (45).png" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+### Style your Blocks
+
+You can select one block or several at once, and batch edit to create different headings and text styles such as checkboxes, bullets, or numbers.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (47).png" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+### Inline Styling &#x20;
+
+We also support styling individual characters / words inside text blocks.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (48).png" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+### Columns
+
+You can use the grey 'handle' to the left of each block to create parent/child blocks or new columns in your editor by dragging and dropping them.

+Description: How to link your Objects with Relations or Simple Links.
+---
+
+# Links
+
+### Creating New Links
+
+#### Link to another Object in Anytype
+
+Directly through the editor by using:
+
+1. **Block Links.** Type \[\[ to invoke the Object picker menu or add the slash character ("/") to invoke a command bar, and then look for the `Link to Object` option in the menu. These can appear either as text or as cards.
+2. **Inline Links**. Type @ to invoke the Object picker menu.
+
+<div><figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (17).png" alt=""><figcaption><p>Link Blocks</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (18).png" alt=""><figcaption><p>Inline Mentions</p></figcaption></figure></div>
+
+With Properties by assigning an Object Property Type in the Object menu.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (179).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+#### Link to external Object on your device
+
+If you want to add a link to an external Object on your desktop, please use the links starting with **file:///** plus the local file destination. For example:
+
+* `file:///Users/Filip/Downloads/Protocol-Berg.pdf` — to open PDFs;
+* `file:///Users/Filip/Downloads/my_budget.xlsx` — to open spreadsheets (Excel, Numbers).
+
+To add such a link, pick up "Link to website" just like when you add a new link to a website.
+
+#### Date mentions
+
+You can use **Inline Links** to quickly link to either absolute or relative dates.
+
+Some examples:
+
+* @now or @today
+* @tomorrow
+* @nextweek
+* @nextmonth
+* @24/8/2023
+
+It's also possible to use `@date` or `/date` to quickly open the date selection menu.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (3) (1) (1) (1).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+#### Link aliases
+
+You can use regular links to link to a specific object in your space using a different name.&#x20;
+
+1. Write the name of your link first.
+2. Select the name and press `Cmd / Ctrl + Shift + K`.
+3. Search for the object you want to link, and select it.
+
+### Checking Existing Links
+
+#### Properties on the Graph
+
+In your documents you may have multiple references or connections which could be attached to other work in your library. The Graph is the visualizer for this. Objects connected to other Objects, connected to Humans, or Tasks.
+
+Learn more about [relations.md](../types/relations.md "mention") & the [graph.md](../../advanced/feature-list-by-platform/graph.md "mention") here.
+
+#### Use the Flow
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (19).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+Another option to check which Objects are linked together can be found in the Flow tab next to the Graph.
+
+On the top, center of your screen you will see the option to toggle to **Flow** view. This will show you which Object is linked before and after the current Object you are viewing.
+
+#### &#x20;Backlinks
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (20).png" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+Lastly, you can use the Backlinks relation to check which Objects link to the currently opened one.&#x20;
