Query related to this thread, which I started as a new topic, for convenience of future searchers:

> [@"See Also" & Classify what do they look at?](https://discourse.devontechnologies.com/t/see-also-classify-what-do-they-look-at/55816):

> What does DT examine when it looks for “See Also” recommendations? And for Classify? I think that “See Also” just looks at the contents of each document (rich text document, plain text document, PDF, sheet, email message, etc.). “Classify” looks at the contents of individual documents, as well as the contents of ALL the documents in each group. And neither “See Also” nor “Classify” looks at the tags of a document, or any other metadata, such as dates, flags, unread vs. read, labels, etc.? Corr…

The relation between these queries is that a primary reason I’m creating this commonplace group is to find connections, and I want to maximize the opportunities to find those connections automatically, while minimizing the work involved in creating the commonplace book.
