Tip of the day: When working in #DEVONthink, it is not unusual to have more than one database open, navigating back and forth between groups. As you open, close, create, and edit documents, it’s not uncommon to eventually lose track of something. Fortunately, smart groups can help corral these files. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220712-todays-files-devonthink

Tip of the day: With the mass of information often found in a #DEVONthink database, color can be a helpful visual indicator when browsing your documents. Many people know you can apply color labels on your documents, similar to the Finder, but here’s how to also color your <strong>tags</strong> in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tagging #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20211214-color-tags-devonthink

Tip of the day: #DEVONthink is well known for being a highly configurable application with an abundance of preferences options. However, not all preferences are as broadly needed but may be useful to a smaller but still substantial group. To address this, #DEVONthink has some hidden preferences available. #macos #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #troubleshooting https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/using-devonthink-s-hidden-preferences

DEVONthink To Go 3.8.2 is here. It supports the PDF bookmarklet and no longer applies default styling to Markdown when you use your own CSS. The new version also shows fewer notifications, checks for broken file permissions, and improves VoiceOver support. #devonthinktogo #devonthink #pkm #markdown #css #voiceover https://buff.ly/3yl1yyB

Tip of the day: Nowadays, people often talk about data being “in the cloud” and they often ask or expect their #DEVONthink databases to be online. But if your data is all in the cloud, have you ever wondered why there are still local folders on your machines? Let’s briefly discuss why decentralization is the model that #DEVONthink follows. #cloud #devonthinktogo #pkm #productivity #safety #sync #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220913-understanding-decentralization

Tip of the day: Mobile devices have come a long way. They’re surely more powerful than they used to be with increasing amounts of storage capacity. However, not all devices have a large amount of available space. This can pose a problem when trying to import and sync your #DEVONthinkToGo databases. Here are some things to consider in this situation. #sync #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220531-shallow-sync-devonthink-to-go

Tip of the day: There are many times we have to deal with documents that aren’t in our native language and in those cases, a translator becomes invaluable. For this, Apple provides a built-in translation you may not know or think about sometimes. Here is a short introduction. #ios #macos #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230124-translation

Tip of the day: The interface of #DEVONthink is made up of multiple panes, each with a specific focus and set of functions. On the left are the sidebars, the default one, where you’ll spend most of your time, is the Navigate sidebar. Here’s what you’ll find there. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220322-devonthink-navigate-sidebar

Tip of the day: For some time now, #DEVONthinkToGo has supported opening multiple windows in iPadOS, e.g., when you long-press an item and choose Open in New Window. But windows on mobile aren’t as obvious as they are in #macOS. Here are a few ways to access and interact with these windows. #ios #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220405-devonthink-windows-ios-ipados

Tip of the day: #DEVONthink not only allows you to store your files, but also to open them in their associated external applications. But sometimes when you open a file externally, it opens the wrong application. Here’s how the Open With menu and launching external applications work in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220201-devonthink-open-files-externally

Tip of the day: Many people use tags as a way to add some context to their documents. We have blogged on the subject more than once, but one option some people may not be aware of is nested (or hierarchical) tags. These are tags with child tags, or related tags within tags. Here’s how you can make and use them in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tagging #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220809-nested-tags

Tip of the day: We have had some requests from people that want to use #DEVONthinkToGo only for capturing data, not for carrying databases around with them. They just want to capture, sync, then clean out the mobile database. Our sync is a mirroring sync, so this isn’t possible on its own. However, it is possible if you’re refiling the items on another device. #devonthink #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210709-devonthink-only-for-capture

Tip of the day: In our user community and in customer support, we receive reports about certain functions of #DEVONthink, e.g., OCR, not working.

Tip of the day: Focus modes allow you to minimize distractions in different circumstances. This usually involves disabling notifications from certain people or applications. #DEVONthinkToGo also supports Focus modes and lets you filter your information as needed.
