  # Use cases
  Any time you're authoring a note that is related to other notes can be a use case for the Peek Viewer. Some of the specific cases where users want to reference other notes:
  **Make a note that contains the tasks for today's plan**. Sidebar allows browsing notes containing ongoing projects to be able to drag tasks from the projects to the note planning today's tasks
  **Write a paper, essay, or book**. It's common that when writing for an audience, you will make reference to other sources that have written about the topic previously. When you have created notes that summarize material you want to reference, you can open those notes in the Peek Viewer.
  **Swiftly access bookmarks or common actions**. If there are a set of web pages/actions that you want to repeatedly visit, that bookmark note can be left opened for immediate access. Works great in tandem with links that can [create notes](https://www.amplenote.com/help/notes_and_writing_create_new#Create_a_note_from_a_link) . 
  **Collaboration.** Open a shared note in the Peek Viewer and delegate work without leaving your main note.
  **Compose a work report**. If you use Daily Jots to [log the work that you do over a week]() , open your "Work Log" note in the main view and open your report note in the Peek viewer.
