Thank you Jon.

I find it helpful that you can edit a link Title. When embedded in a sentence, I will often use a much abbreviated title or even just say "here".

Plain internal links used to show up green to readily distinguish them from external links. I wish they'd bring up that option again.

Yeah there’s a few folk who’d like to see the internal text links green again. I’d would.

I use text links mostly. Jon you mentioned before that we could expect to see an update that text link would also get automatically updated when the note title changes. Any idea when that is coming up? It does work for all link types except for text links.

Noy sure when. From what I understand its more complicated than it looks but is def on a list. A lot of the expert folk mention it.

Another way to link is to drag a note from the notes list into an open note.

I use Mention or Title depending on how I want the note to look.

Title stands out more and looks more like a seperator.

If it's just a list of linked notes, then I use Mention. For Mention to have any value, the first line of the note needs to have something of value.

I think evernote should remove showing the title of the note in the mention pop out, it's just using space and repeating what you just placed your mouse on. This would allow seeing at least a second line of the actual note.

Yes. Always forget about dragging notes.

excellent overview, as always. Another relatively new feature is that when you change the note title in the original note, the title in the link updates as well, but this is only visible in the Mention option.

The title change is made in all link veiws. And it's been around for quite a while.

Thanks Susan. I'm glad they update now especially if there's a date in the title!
