actualNoteContentPart: ## Renaming Backlinks
  If you create a link to a note by using the note linking syntax, Amplenote will auto-complete the name of the note for you. With this method, **the note you are linking to and the link itself have the same title**. 
  
  There are, however, situations when the text for a link is not the same as the note the link points to:
  When you link to a note using [[ but change the title of the note after that;
  When you use Ctrl-K to insert a link to a note over some arbitrary text;
  When you use [[ to link to a note and then use # to link to a particular heading in that note.
  
  In all of these cases, you can choose to update the text of the link to the actualy title of the note.
  
  Simply scroll down to the Backlinks tab and find the button at the top of that section:
  
  
  If this button is missing, that means Amplenote didn't find any references to the current note that differ from the title of the note.
  
  
  Clicking on that button will show you a list of all of the references that can be renamed to match the current title of the note.
  
  
  In this image, we filtered the references that can be renamed by typing in the # character in the search bar. This helps us find all of the references to headings in the current note.
  
  
  Finally, clicking on Update X references to current title will change the text of all of the selected links - so either all of them if you didn't apply a search filter, or the ones that matched your search filter if you applied one.
  
  ## Filtering Backlinks
  **Note**: In the meantime we also made it possible to filter backlinks using Note References. Check it out here: [Inline Tags and Note Reference Filtering#How to filter arbitrary blocks by Note References?](/help/inline_tags_note_reference_filtering#How_to_filter_arbitrary_blocks_by_Note_References?) . 
  
  Once a user incorporates backlinking into their regular workflow, a common problem that follows is having too many connections into a note. Bidirectional linking is less useful when you have such a long list of backlinks that you can't find what the one you want. We've improved this by introducing the option to **filter backlinks based on the tag **of the source note.
  
  
  Enter a tag to filter the list of backlinks that are shown
  
  
  As an example, in the gif above I'm looking at the backlinks for my note on deadlifts. This list of backlinks can get [very long﻿](https://www.amplenote.com/blog/transclusion_backlink_filtering_unlinked_references_and_more) , so whenever I want to exclude mentions that come from my (rather frequent) fitness journal entries, I can filter the backlinks to include only tags containing wiki, which is where more technical information tends to end up in my case.
  If we think of linking between two notes as creating new meaning﻿, filtering by tag would be akin to narrowing down the set of definitions for a concept.
  Another way to visualize this: if you link every mention of a work colleague you interact with (say, @Huckleberry), and you include a mention of the project they refer to (say #Amplenote), tag filtering enables you to effectively find all instances in which you meaningfully interacted with Huckleberry about an Amplenote project.
