Mentions
Mentions are links to components and boards within your Arcweave project. You can insert mentions while typing in the following fields:
- Title or content of elements
- Notes
- Rich text attributes
- Connection labels
In the workspace, mentions appear as orange text.
ℹ️ Mentions are not visually styled in Play Mode.; they appear as regular text.
Benefits of mentions
Mentions offer several advantages that improve project navigation and consistency:
- Quick navigation: Clicking on a mention instantly opens the referenced component or board.
- Auto-updating: If the referenced item is renamed, all related mentions are automatically updated.
- Distraction-free writing: You can create and reference new components on the fly without breaking your writing flow.
Creating a Mention
To mention an existing component or board:
- While typing, type the
@
character. - Start typing the name of the component or board.
- Select the correct item from the dropdown list.
ℹ️ Make sure to leave a space before typing the
@
character.
Creating new components
Mentions also allow you to create new components as you write.
To create one, type @
followed by the desired name and press Enter. Arcweave will automatically create and mention the new component without interrupting your writing flow.
To include spaces in the name, use underscores (
_
). For example, typing@bronze_key
will create a component named bronze key.
