Best Practices
-
Cast a wide net first: Start with broad searches, then narrow down
-
Cite sources: Always link back to source pages using mentions
-
Verify recency: Check page last-edited dates for current information
-
Cross-reference: Validate findings across multiple sources
-
Structure clearly: Use headings, bullets, and formatting for readability
Page Placement
By default, create research documents as standalone pages. If the user specifies:
-
A parent page → create as child page
-
A database → add to that database with appropriate properties
-
A teamspace → create in that context
