The See Also & Classify inspector is the main interface to DEVONthink's brain, our built-in AI engine. This engine is analyzing the contents and locations of all documents in your database and making connections between them. These connections can be seen in this inspector pane. This inspector will be shown when a document is selected and you choose Tools > Inspectors > See Also & Classify. When the inspector opens, you will be presented with two sections: Classify and See Also. Groups Based on analyzing the contents of the current document, the AI cross-references the contents and locations of other files in the database. The results are shown in the Groups section. This list offers a range of suggested locations, displaying a heat-mapped score of its relevance and the location of the group. The highest ranked suggestion is presented first. Obviously, you can choose any other them. If there's a group you'd like to use, double-clicking the suggested group will file the document for you. You can also click the Move to button, press ⌃C, or drag and drop to file it in any of the suggested groups. Lastly, if a suggested group is in the same database as the selected file, you can hold the ⌥ key and the Move to button changes to a Replicate button. Directly above the classify results is a search field. If there is another group you're thinking of that hasn't been suggested, type part of the group name to filter the list of suggestions. Then file into the location of your choice. Below the search field are two options to help focus the results presented in the two panes: Based on content, enabled by default, makes its suggestions based on content comparisons, while Based on tags uses only the documents tags for matching. Since results can be shown for all databases, Current database only restricts the suggestions to the active database. On a related note, in the Data menu, you will find two menu items: Move to … again and Classify to…. The first provides you the option to classify the current document in the group into which you classified. If you filed into a particular group via the Groups section, this menu item would remember it and offer that group as a place to classify the current document. The second menu item offers its top ranked suggestion for classifying the current document, if you'd like to just follow the AI's suggestions. Documents Another benefit of the AI's content analysis is the ability to offer suggestions of documents that may be related to the current document. These files are listed in the Documents section of the inspector. Like the Groups section, this list shows the location of the document and heat mapped score of the potential relevance. Hovering over a result shows a tooltip displaying its full title and location. Select a document in the results to display it in the view/edit pane. For your convenience, DEVONthink always lists the original document near the top of the list. This way you can select it to go quickly back to the original document. Double-click a document to open it in a document window. Drag a document from the list to move it to another location. When dragging, you can create duplicates by holding the ⌥ Option key. You can also create replicants by holding ⌘ Command and ⌥ Option and dragging to another location in the database. Context menu The See Also and the Classify sections host many of the same context menu items as the item list. A list of these commands is included in the context menu section of the appendix. Also an alternative command is available when holding the ⌥ key: Reveal in New Window.
