Favorites
Favorites in Notarium is a lens over your file tree, not a separate section. The star (★) in the left rail doesn't take you to a new page — it narrows the tree down to what you've marked: notes, folders, and projects. It's a handy "short list" of the things you come back to most often.
How it works
Favorites live per space and are stored on the server (in the metadata database), separately for each user — so they sync across your devices and browsers. The only thing kept locally (in the browser) is whether the lens is currently on. On the rail, the star and the Files icon are mutually exclusive: exactly one of them is highlighted, and only within the files section (not on the dashboard, not in the graph, not on the settings page).
- Turn the lens on without leaving the page. If you're already in the files section (reading a note or looking at the Feed), clicking ★ filters the tree down to your favorites and highlights the star without changing the current surface — you keep reading the same note, the tree just got narrower.
- Opening a favorite note doesn't reset the lens — you stay in "Favorites" mode.
- Back to the full tree — click the Files icon: the tree and the highlight switch at the same time. Moving to a service surface (Graph, Agents, Trash, Settings) also quietly resets the lens.
Starring something doesn't move or duplicate it. It's a marker placed over existing notes, folders, and projects; the file itself stays where it is in the tree. You remove the mark the same way you added it.
You can favorite not just an individual note but a whole folder or project — the lens shows them together. For how the rail and the file tree work overall, see Navigation.
