In this app, you write everything in *lists*. **Logseq is an outliner**, which means that you structure your notes while you type, in simple bulleted lists. And with this ease of structuring information, you no longer need to think about how to name a note or where to store it.

On that page with today’s date, you see a single bullet. This is called a _block_ in Logseq, and it’s the smallest piece of information you can work with in this app. You can compare blocks to paragraphs in a regular text editor.

Now the question remains: when to use page and block references, and when to go with embeds?
9494

9595
Most Logseq users turn mentions of people, projects, companies, and other nouns into links (either tags of bracket links). Combined with Logseq’s outline structure, linking enables you to create little packets of information that are easy to find back (using the Linked References section).

9797
Block references are often used to quickly create outlines without the need to duplicate notes. Another common use case for block references is to create different versions of branches, as you can easily reference a block and create an alternative branch.

Embeds are often used for dashboards or pages that need to show a lot of context. For example, you can create a single project page where you embed all relevant notes instead of moving them onto the page.
