The Info panel in a Bear note displays a variety of statistics such as word and character counts, estimated read time, and date of its last edit. This panel also has tabs for the Table of Contents—an outline view of a note—and Backlinks—a tool for navigating between notes that link to each other.

The Info Panel appears as a popover on top of a note that displays a variety of statistics about it, including: word and character count, paragraphs, and estimated read time. To display the Info Panel:

Click the ToC tab at the top of the Info Panel. There, you will see a list of all sections in the current note, generated from all headings (H1-H6) that are present.

The Backlinks tab displays a list of all other Bear notes that link to the current note. Click any wiki link there to visit the linked note.
