## Main sections

- **Inbox** — notes you haven't organized yet. A note leaves the Inbox when you mark it as "organized" using the ✓ button in the breadcrumb bar.
- **All Notes** — every note in your vault
- **Archive** — notes you've finished with but want to keep
- **Trash** — deleted notes, recoverable for 30 days

## Types section

Below the main sections, the sidebar lists your custom types (Note, Topic, Person, and any you create). Click a type to see all notes of that type.

Use the sliders icon next to **TYPES** to show or hide types from the sidebar. Use the **+** to create a new type.

## Favorites

Star any note to pin it to the top of the sidebar. Click the ⭐ icon in the breadcrumb bar at the top of the editor, or use **Cmd+K → Favorite**.
