# Links

The map view shows the links between notes.

If both the source and destination of the link are in the map, the link is drawn as a line between the boxes. If the source or the destination of the link are outside the map, the link is drawn as a short arrow departing from or arriving at a note.

In this map, Cicero is linked to Brutus, Antony, and Caesar. Because Caesar is inside the container "In Gaul", only the start of the link to Caesar appears in the map.

In map view, links with guard fields are distinguished by a small diamond, about a quarter of the way along the link. If the guard field is satisfied, the diamond is solid; if the guard field is not satisfied, the diamond is hollow with a line drawn across the link.
