  # What are Backlinks?
  ## Example use case
  Here's an example note that shows what it looks like to use backlinks to aggregate all past conversations on assorted topics of interest:
  
  
  Backlinks being used to collect all tasks pertaining to a topic, like "Amplenote Ideas"
  
  
  Which gives rise to the following tab in the "Amplenote: Ideas" note:
  
  
  "Amplenote Ideas" note collects each mention of the note in the "Backlinks" tab
  
  
  Some of the common "topics of interest" where we've seen backlinks used to aggregate mentions (i.e., you might want to consider creating notes for these, so you can link to them):
  People being working with
  Ideas to pursue on a work project
  Facts about an area of personal interest
  A class being taken at school
  
  When it comes to quickly linking to another note, our [Note linking guide (at @ and double-bracket [[ notation)](/help/double-bracket-note-link-syntax)  is a great starting point on the most common way Amplenote users accomplish this. In addition to the convenient note-linking syntax, you can also type a note name into the standard Rich Footnotes URL field:
  
  
  Creating a link into a note through the Rich Footnotes popup
  
  
  ## What will get shown in the Backlinks tab?
  When you're creating a link into a note that is going to become a Backlink, you have many options to include the precise content that is shown in the Backlinks tab. The starting point to determine what will be shown in the Backlink tab is where your link occurred. Here are the rules we apply for links in various contexts:
  
  ### Link in a paragraph
  
  
  The Amplenote help page for setting up Shortcuts is linked to from the page for Jots. Thus, the Shortcuts page has a Backlink to the Jots note
  
  
  The most basic case. If you link to another note in the midst of a paragraph of text, that paragraph will be shown in the Backlinks tab.
  
  ### Link in a task or bullet item
  
  
  When a note link occurs in the base bullet, all of the child bullets are included in the Backlink
  
  
  If you link to a note from within a hierarchy, the entire hierarchy is included in the Backlinks tab. 
  
  ### Link in a heading
  If you link from a heading in a note, like this:
  
  
  Linking to "bread chronicles"
  
  
  All content will be included up until the next head of equal or greater value. In the example above, we linked to "bread chronicles" from an h2, so all content is included up through the next h2, "Other kinds of bread." Here's the view from "bread chronicles": 
  
  
  All content until the next h2 header is shown among the Backlinks
  
  
  This effectively allows entire notes to be shown in the Backlinks tab, if one sets a linked note within an h1 at the beginning of the note.
