[*Taking Smart Notes with DEVONthink*](https://gum.co/Taking_Smart_Notes_With_DEVONthink) has just received a major update. **If you've already purchased the book, you get the update for free.** Just use your receipt to access your files..

After diving in and studying other note taking apps like Obsidian and Roam Research, I returned to DEVONthink with more conviction than ever. But I also came back with some neat ideas to implement.

*Taking Smart Notes with DEVONthink* is now **20% larger** than at its original release, with over **100 pages added**.

The update includes:

- A significantly updated set of Keyboard Maestro macros. Also available is an appendix referencing macros throughout the text
- A study workflow using a "Leitner" study system
- Updates to using bracketed WikiLinks, taking advantage of the new DEVONthink option to combine WikiLink options
- A daily journal workflow
- An experimental “sidebar” from a link
- An updated style-sheet

… and much more!
