▶ Preface TL;DR What would be a more fitting name to express the function of ‘Link to’ in the Object (…) Menu? [Link to Function] For context: We’re addressing the fact that while the phrase ‘Link to’ might suggest that the current Object would appear on the left side of the link in an upper pos…

What a great suggestion @C.c I think we will implement your idea to update toast text. @Shampra thanks for this robust recollection. I think we also will stick to this one. Also @raph raised a great question about relations menu. We will cook it as a part of backlinks project. Thanks everyone, it…

I think that “Link to” is about as clear as it gets. They are essentially linked together on the graph. I would say this could be done better, as in making this link apparent from the relations panel or the like. That way, it actually feels more like what it says. Basically what I’m getting at is ha…

I don’t personally have too much of an issue with it as it is but I can kinda see the confusion at the same time. If not “Link to” then perhaps Connect, Associate, or Tether?

Honestly, I never noticed the positioning in Graph when you “Link to” so it was never an issue for me. It’s still linking to something, and the objects don’t stay in place, anyway. I’m not completely against a name change, but I don’t think it’s necessary. “Link to object” is found in a different me…

To be honest, I don’t think there’s any way at all to rename this command so that it isn’t confusing. The menu it appears in is full of commands that affect the object being viewed. But this command doesn’t do that. It affects other objects. So the user glances at the available commands, reasonably …

Personally, any terminology will do, as long as they are consistent across the whole Anytype. At selection / option pane, the simpler the language is, the better it is. Cause once you understand the concept, you will have no problem and no additional explanation is needed. Perhaps to reduce users’…

Pehaps the first step is to find all reference of “Link to” (and all other like “Link from”) and remind their current action? From flow, from collection, from object menu. Because a “Link to” must have the same action everywhere Just for memory, actually we have this : In object XXX, action “Lin…

This may be besides the point, but I don’t understand why “link to” isn’t in the Relations menu. I know it’s not a ‘regular’ relation, but still, it’s about connecting objects together and for months that’s where I’d look for it each time I wanted to use it… But I agree the terminology “Link to” is…

Didn’t think about that aspect. If Anytype plans on retaining the same method for “linking” (adding) objects to collections, then “Add to” makes a lot of sense. What would make more sense, I think they were planning on doing this, but updating this to be separate with a specific “Add to collection.”…

“Link to” definitely was confusing to me at first. Once I understood how it works i quickly found it to be a really useful feature. I mainly use it to add objects to a collection and to manually add a backlink or just link to another note most likely already mentioned in the current note. So "add t…

Out of all of them, “Link in”, seems to me like the most simple and straightforward option.
