Preview content without losing context
Routine’s transclusion functionality lets you view content from another object right into the context you are. This is particularly useful when referring to another piece of information that you want to browse without having to navigate away.
More than a reference
In most tools, referencing another object (e.g page) just creates a link. In Routine, you can not only reference any other object, but you can change the display of the link to preview the content of the linked object, known as transclusion. Whether it’s a project brief, a meeting agenda or a task, you get the full context without breaking your flow.
Better thinking with embedded knowledge
Writing a document that draws from multiple topics? Use transclusion to embed relevant content. Particularly useful in the context of Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) tools, transclusion is also useful in team workspaces for building connected knowledge.
One source of truth, everywhere
Stop copying content around. Instead embed content from objects to embed and synchronize it. Any updates made to the original object automatically reflect wherever it’s embedded. No more outdated content, just consistent knowledge across your system.
Build a second brain, inside Routine
Whether you are building a knowledge graph or simply cross-linking notes, transclusion helps your information become more interconnected and useful. It is a building block for networked thought inside your productivity system.
