How to manually change card types

When you save a link, mymind does its best to understand the content based on the information it finds. However, there are times when a link will save as an undesired card type. We are currently working on a way to adjust the card type and thumbnail of certain cards to keep your mind looking fresh.

While this feature is not out for most card types yet, there is a way to change four card types: notes, todos, highlights, and quotes.

1. Todo: All todo cards start as Notes. By adding a checklist to your note, you will see the #todo tag added, which makes the Note card also act as a Todo card. Add the tag #todo yourself to manually force the card to show up when searching for your checklists.
2. Highlights: Highlight cards are any cards that contain highlighted text. Unlike todos, when you highlight text in a Note, it will not automatically add the #highlight tag. You can however add the #highlight tag yourself if you want to highlight the entire note. If you want to remove a highlight covering an entire note, delete the tag.
3. Quotes: Quote cards act different from the other note card types. mymind will check for quotation marks in any new notes you save.
   1. If quotation marks exist at the beginning and end of a chunk of text you save to your mind, mymind saves it as a Quote card. (If there's an attribution included after the quote, that is saved separately in the attribute field in the Quote card).
   2. Like highlights or todos, you can manually change the card type of a note to a quote by adding the tag #quote. This will format the card as a quote card instead.
4. Notes are the most basic card type. If you remove any of the tags automatically added above (#quote, #highlight or #todo), it will become a plain old Note card. Highlights and quote formatting will be stripped away, but checklists in your note will remain (though the card will not show up in a search for todo).
