Tip of the day: If you use a Mac and an iPad at the same time, Universal Control allows you to control both devices from a single keyboard and mouse or trackpad. You can use both devices perfectly together while retaining their individual capabilities. Here we’ll show you this feature. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ios #macos #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231128-use-universal-control

Tip of the day: In a search, your search term can refer to different contexts, such as the name of the document or the content. Using search prefixes in #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo allows you to focus your searches by narrowing down to the context you’re searching on. Here is how that works. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230214-focus-your-searches

Tip of the day: Building a database is similar to setting up an office or furnishing a room. One important, though not glamorous, item is the trash: a place to put unwanted items. #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo databases also have per-database trashes for the same purpose. Here’s how to access and use them. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220517-understanding-devonthinks-trash

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: #DEVONthink is well known for its automation capabilities: scripting, smart rules, folder actions, etc. However, sometimes you just need to make some quick impromptu changes in your database but don’t need — or perhaps don’t know how — to create something too complicated.

Tip of the day: When it comes to peoples’ databases in #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo, there often is an almost austere sense they are permanent, inviolable structures. However, as easily as they can be created they can also be deleted or archived. Here are some ideas why you may want to create temporary databases. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210928-temporary-databases-devonthink

Tip of the day: Sometimes we get asked about having a #DEVONthink database that can be copied for reuse, e.g., when creating a yearly database. Simply copying a database should not be done for technical reasons, but you can create a set of objects as a template to populate a new database. Here is, how that works. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231017-database-template

Tip of the day: Imagine you have a set of databases you open to work on a specific project. Or a database you occasionally use and open in three windows side-by-side.
