How To Get Started Using Tana: The Capture + Find Method
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- Welcome to another video about Tana! Today is a short one and I want to share with you the easiest way I see to get started using Tana if this is your first time using a more flexible app for knowledge.
There are two kinds of people I come across in the Tana Community. People who are used to tools like Roam or Logseq where you can dump things in and find them later. And people who are used to more structure in Notion or Obsidian.
So whether you're coming from either sides of the spectrum there are two things you need to do to get started in Tana to feel confident to find things again. And they are Capture & Search.

THIS at 4:55 is exactly what I haven't been able to find in any of the (it feels like) 100s of videos I've watched about Tana - use the Library for stuff you want in the sidebar. It's obvious now... but I haven't seen it actually explained anywhere. Thank you Ev!
Glad I could be that lightbulb moment Dave!
You're super warm and bubbly, makes it so easy to listen to you compared to some of the other (also amazing) drier content out there.
Awww Thankyou so much. I appreciate the feedback 🤩
Nice simple overview, Ev!
G'day Ev, I'm a very new Tana user and Ive been struggling to get my head around HOW to use this app. Thankfully, I discovered your videos. I can't wait to get into my Tana workspace tomorrow. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad I could inspire you Jason! Having a blank slate can be daunting!
Great video Ev. I'm on the waiting list and wondering how Tana handles web content capture and local file attachments (PDF's, etc.)
Most things are manual at the moment, so no plugins or extentions for capturing web tools. PDF functionality I don't believe is in yet.
But I've seen these guys implement features fast over the last few weeks - so it wouldn't be far away.
I got access today! So live searches (queries) seem like the various views I could create for databases on Notion, except much more flexible...am I on the right track here? I have used Roam and Notion and just trying to relate to what I know as I get my feet wet :) Thank you for your awesome videos!
Yes correct 👍 If I was comparing live searches I would compare them to linked views in Notion
You put Notion and Obsidian together 🥴
Thanks for the video. I still find myself saying, "I do that in Obsidian". 🤷♂️
I’m sorry!!!! But I couldn’t put obsidian with roam & logseq. Maybe it just stands out in its own
@@EvChapman Obsidian is closer to Roam and Logseq than Notion.
I do think it has its own corner 😁
I don't have Tana access yet but would love to do a comparison? 🤷♂️
Hi ev is there a quick capture from anywhere method on desktop with keyboard shortcut? Be nice to add a node into Tana while I’m working in another application
You can use shift+ cmd+E anywhere for a voice recording (but not text input right now). CTRL if you’re on windows
Hello Ev. Can you tell me how to create block quotes in Tana ?
I'm not sure that' possible just yet. Markdown/Formatting is limited to just bold/underline/italic
Are you using #task instead of #todo here? #todo seems to be the default supertag for tasks in Tana.
I am. I like to divide my tasks between work and personal, so I created a separate supertag fo my work tasks
what if you forgot to add tag while you were capturing? You can still find it with live search include the node that has ‘task’ tag?
To find it in live search you need to add the tag. But you could use the top search bar ti find it & tag it correctly
can you create more than one db with one account in Tana? like separate vaults in Obsidian...
Yep! At this point you can create unlimited workspaces (vaults)
How long does it take to get access after joining the waitlist?
It didn't take long, but I signed up way back in October. I know they are working through the list as fast as they can
Hi Eve cheers for the video, gave me clarity on how to use Tana, got access today Yay! looks a super useful tool… also signed up to your channel
Thanks so much Jane! I know you'll have a lot of fun exploring Tana!
Just to make sure - there is an ios app for it? (sorry for a repeat question)
No iOS app yet, but I believe it won’t be long. I’ve used it in browser on my iPhone and it’s ok for quick entry/browsing which is all I need right now
