actualNoteContentPart: ## Create a note from a link
  You can make a link to [https://www.amplenote.com/notes/new](https://www.amplenote.com/notes/new)  that will create a new note when clicked. You can optionally parameterize this link so that the new note created has a certain title, or comes with certain tags:
  The name param will create a note with a certain name. For example, adding ?name=My%20Named%20Note to the end of the new note link will create a note entitled "My Named Note." [Click here while logged in to prove it](https://www.amplenote.com/notes/new?name=My%20Named%20Note) .
  The tags param will create your note with one or more tags. For example, adding ?tags=tag-a will create a note tagged with tag-a. 
  The source param will copy content from another note to use as the starting content for the new note. The value for the source param should be the UUID of a note from your notebook that you want to copy. If you're in a browser, you can get the note's UUID by opening it and copying the UUID from the URL. If you've installed Amplenote, you can get a note URL by clicking the ["Copy URL" option from the triple dot in the upper right corner](https://images.amplenote.com/c1d821d0-fad2-11ea-a5bc-f200a12bf340/04b17096-4cae-4829-9593-1fb1b8df56a7.jpg)  when the note is open. For example, adding source=c1d821d0-fad2-11ea-a5bc-f200a12bf340 would create a new note whose starting content was whatever currently exists in the note with the UUID given.
  These parameters can be mixed and matched to allow designing links that will create a new note with a particular name, tag, and template source. For example, a link to [https://www.amplenote.com/notes/new?name=Daily%20Plan&tag=todo](https://www.amplenote.com/notes/new?name=Daily%20Plan&tag=todo)  will create a note named "Daily Plan" with the todo tag applied.
