# Capture A Note

Use capture when you need to get an idea into the vault before you know where it belongs.

## Steps

1. Open the command palette with `Cmd+K` or `Ctrl+K`.
2. Run `New Note`.
3. Write a clear H1.
4. Add the rough content.
5. Leave structure for later if you are still thinking.

## Capture Well

Prefer a useful title over a perfect taxonomy. You can add type, status, and relationships during inbox review.

## When To Add Structure Immediately

Add structure while capturing if the note is obviously a Project, Person, Event, or Procedure and the context is already known.
