Getting Around

Everything in the rail is placed the same way.

Drag it onto the canvas. Pick the tool from the rail, drag it where you want it, let go. It lands where you dropped it.

Or tap + to drop it into the middle of your current view. Faster when the exact position does not matter — you can always move it afterwards.

That is the whole interaction. Every family in the rail behaves this way: notes, to-dos, shapes, media, sources, board tiles.

Drag a card to move it. Drag its edge to resize.

Drag cards in and out of columns to organise them — a column keeps what it holds in order, so dragging into one is how you sequence work.

Double-click a card to open its detail: source cards open their settings, document cards open in an editor.

The rail groups everything you can place. Clicking a family opens its submenu; the tools inside are what you drag.

The Vexlynk rail, showing every group you can place from

There are three searches, and they cover different things.

Board search, in the board index, finds workspaces and the cards inside them. This is the one you want when looking for something you wrote. A result pointing at a card takes you to it.

Source search filters the source catalogue. Marketplace search filters installable Vlynks and sources.

None of them searches the others’ content.

The board index lists your workspaces, with search across them and their cards. It is also where you browse templates from.

On Free you have one workspace, so the index is mostly a search tool. On Plus and Pro it is how you move around.

Each workspace keeps a timeline of earlier states, and you can restore one.

Restoring replaces the workspace’s current contents with the version you picked, so it confirms first. It is the right tool after a change you regret — and the wrong one if you only want a single card back, because it moves the whole workspace.

  • Task View — your to-dos gathered from every workspace
  • Files — linking a folder from your machine
