Use the graph view in Obsidian
Narrow the view and check connections

First, we prepared six Markdown. " The three notes of "research" are entrance → hypothesis → verification, and the two notes of "life" are connected by shopping → eating and internal links, and there is no link to other notes in isolated notes. It is a composition for practice that can distinguish between two connected components and one isolated note.

研究/入口.md → 研究/仮説.md → 研究/検証.md
生活/買い物.md → 生活/食事.md
孤立.md

後からGUIで追加: 追加メモ.md → 研究/入口.md

The first six files were prepared before the app was launched, and only the seventh one was created with the actual editor. " #研究 is written in the three notes and additional notes in the "Research" folder, and #生活 is written in the second notebook of life.

The first conditions for global graphs are Search files blanks, Tags OFF, Attachments OFF, Existing files only OFF, Orphans ON. There were no unresolved links. In the future comparison, only the described search, Orphans, and color groups are switched.

Open Open graph view from the left ribbon. At first, it was six notes and three links. Next, I made an "additional memo" with Ctrl＋N and entered the name and text into the actual editor. The saved full text is the following 92 bytes.

# 追加メモ

GUIで追加する著者作成ノートです。 [[研究/入口]]

#研究

When I waited for automatic saving and opened the graph, it became seven notes and four links. One more from the additional memo to the 研究/ entrance increased, and the saved Markdown and the internal link resolution results also matched.

The configuration panel covers some nodes. The number of these two images is a value that has been confirmed by reading the node name and link endpoint from the actual Graph renderer. It is not a counting method that shows all the circles in the image. The image is preserved as it is.

Finally, I reopened the additional notes from the file list and read the text and tags. When adding, after re-displaying, and after the end of the app normally, the saved Markdown had the same content.

Enter a search string in Filters → Search files in Graph settings. path:"研究/" selects notes within a folder; tag:#研究 selects notes containing a tag. The observed results differed as follows.

The additional note is at the vault root, so it does not match the path condition for the 研究 folder. It does match the tag condition because it has #研究. We left Tags off in this test and did not test displaying tags themselves as nodes.

When you finish narrowing down, empty the Search files. This time, when the search candidate overlapped with the operation, I closed it with Esc and then clicked the next switch. The folder name and tag name will be adjusted to your saved content.

Groups → New group, and entered path:"研究/" in the first and tag:#生活 in the second. Click on the color circle of the group and change the first one to RGB 30 / 140 / 220 (#1e8cdc) on the Linux color selection screen. The second assigned color was #d6ad5c.

The three notes in the 研究 folder appeared blue, and the two notes with the life tag appeared gold. The additional note at the vault root and 孤立.md matched neither condition, so they received no group color. We also checked the node names and colors; the overall total remained seven notes and four links.

The original image shows the actual color picker. We used the existing X11 mouse and keyboard helpers for GUI input; we did not set the color through the app’s API or by assigning DOM values. Overlapping or reordered color groups, other colors, and other operating systems’ color pickers were not tested.

Open 研究/入口.md from the file list and select More options → Open linked view → Open local graph in the note. The Filters of the local graph have a Depth slider. The conditions for this time are Incoming links ON, Outgoing links ON, and Neighbor links OFF.

I changed the depth from 1 to 2 with the actual slider operation, and checked the node name and link endpoint. The two notebooks of life and the 孤立.md were not connected to the entrance, so they did not enter these two depths.

Both images are originals captured after choosing the settings and closing the panel. They record depths 1 and 2 for the entry note. Opening a different note also changes the scope of the linked local graph. Depths 3–5 and other combinations of Incoming/Outgoing/Neighbor links were not tested.

The seven files are the same bytes as the original Markdown saved after adding the GUI. ZIP is a distribution package created at the time of preparation for this article, and it retains seven texts and relative paths. In individual downloads, place the folder name and file name of the table together.

Save seven files together (ZIP)

SHA256 of the relative path and text of the seven files with the ZIP expanded were compared with the original. ZIP import on the reader's side, placement in other vaults, and delivery from public servers are not included in the verification of the actual application.
