DEVONthink
1

Good morning from Mexico!

Are there any good blogs, articles, or—more importantly—videos out there from users showing how they actually use DEVONthink? I’m looking for real-world workflows and specific examples of how people organize their work.

I’ve found very little on YouTube, especially compared to other tools. DEVONthink is incredibly powerful, but I’m having a hard time moving beyond basic file management and a few scripts. Part of the problem is that I’m not really a ‘book person’ (like the DEVONthink Handbook); I learn much better through videos and by watching how others interact with the software.

My favorite Devonthink usage channel was DEVONthink for Historians. It’s a retired channel and isn’t moving forward with DT, but the ideas there are pretty much universal.

A Youtube search finds a number of Devonthink videos. A caveat comes to mind. Each time a reviewer says something can’t be done in DT, keep in mind how many DT features don’t intrude until you need them.

But what do YOU need? That’s the important question.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this if it’s all you need to do.
