1
How it works
Nested labels group related labels into parent-child levels, turning a flat list into a browsable tree.
2
Why it helps
Hierarchy reduces scan time and makes note placement predictable, especially when managing many categories.
3
Before and after
Before
Labels exist as one long flat list with manual prefixes to imitate depth.
After
Labels are organized as parent and sublabel branches that mirror real topic structure.
