# Smart Adornments

Tinderbox "smart adornments" have a query, just like agents.

The smart adornment searches within its map—that is, amongst its siblings in the document outline—for notes that satisfy its query. Matching notes will be moved to the smart adornment, and notes that do not match the query will be moved off the adornment. (Locked notes and adornments are never repositioned by a smart adornment.)

Smart Adornments are handy for automatically organizing containers to which you are frequently adding notes—especially if these notes are added automatically. When you add notes yourself, you naturally place them appropriately, but when notes are being moved around your Tinderbox document by agents or inserted from email, smart adornments can help keep things organized.
