A map is a collection before it's anything else. Add the internotes that belong to a topic, a course, or a reading path — then use the canvas to arrange them and draw the connections that show how they relate.
Click any node to open the internote inside. The edges show what to read next — not a page number or an index entry, but the actual connection between ideas. Navigate the collection the way the knowledge flows.
Some collections are linear — one topic after another. Others branch, converge, or cluster around a shared theme with no fixed order. A map holds your internotes in whatever shape the knowledge takes, and makes that structure visible before a learner has to discover it.
A public map gives anyone access to every internote inside it — the whole collection, explorable without an account. No picking individual notes to share; the map is the thing you share.
The edges aren't decoration — they encode the sequence. Connect prerequisites to what builds on them and the order becomes part of the collection itself, not something a learner has to figure out by getting stuck.
A collection of your internotes — grouped, connected, and shared as a single thing. Add the internotes that belong together, connect them to show how ideas build on each other, and share the whole collection as a course, a reading path, or a topic. The visual canvas is how the collection expresses its own structure.
A connection says these two ideas are related — and the direction says which comes first. You draw an edge from one internote to another to indicate that the first should be understood before the second, or that one concept builds directly on another. There are no edge labels or types: the meaning comes entirely from which internotes you connect and the direction you connect them in. Two internotes side by side with no edge between them simply belong to the same collection without implying an order.
Yes. A map is built from your own internotes — the nodes are content you've created, and the edges are the connections you draw between them. It's a personal view of how your own work fits together, not a curation of content from across the platform.
Yes. Maps can be set to public, which gives anyone access to the entire collection — every internote inside it, browsable without an account. The map is the thing you share: one link, the whole course or path. Public maps are also discoverable on the platform.
By inviting another Internote user by their email address. You choose whether they get view or edit access, and the map appears in their 'Shared with me' section. Access is tied to their Internote account.
Yes. The map shows which internotes you've completed and surfaces a continue point so you can pick up where you left off. If you've already worked through part of the path, you don't have to retrace it to find your place.
No hard limit. A map can hold as many or as few internotes as the collection requires — from two nodes with a single connection to a full course with dozens of internotes and branching paths.
