Properties

Every key in a flow's frontmatter is a property. A handful mean something to the tool — title, description, version, latentApplications, xray — and everything else is yours to invent.

The Document view renders them as a list you can edit in place: click a value to change it, click a name to rename it, and use Add property for a new one. title and description are ordinary properties, but they are shown above the list — as the document's heading and standfirst — rather than as two more rows.

Nothing declares a property's type: it is whatever its value is. A number sorts numerically, true / false renders as a checkbox, a list renders as chips, and an ISO date sorts chronologically. Adding a property asks which kind of value to start from, and from then on the value itself is the type.

Properties are what folder views filter and sort on — see Folder views.

Legacy YAML flows keep their metadata in the document itself, so they are edited in the Source tab rather than here.
