Move node to Library when a supertag is used

🙏 Thanks to many community members but especially Ready and Navigator Dee for surfacing this tip in a recent conversation! For more stuff like this, join our community to share and learn about all things Tana 🫶

Goal

To move all nodes to a single place when they get tagged. This is useful if you want nodes of a certain type to live in a place that makes sense for breadcrumb navigation.

Instructions

For this example, we're going to build a command that moves all tagged nodes to the Library.

Build the command

1. Create a new command called Move to Library
   1. Add the command Move node
   2. In the parameter Move node target, pick the Library from the dropdown. There are other locations to choose from as well, and you can insert a reference to any node you want as the target
   3. Add parameter Remove references after moving node and give it your desired setting. Most would want it unchecked so it leaves a reference of the node in the original location
   4. Add parameter Move original node and check it. This ensures that even when you use the Add tag action on a reference, it moves the original node to the desired location and not the reference (which won't achieve the goal of this command)
2. Add the command to the config of the supertag in question. Go to AI and Commands > On added, and add a reference to the command here.

Testing the command

To test it, use the supertag on a node:

• If used on a node, it should immediately send the original to the specified location and leave a reference behind.
• If used on a reference, it should send the original - wherever it is - to the specified location.

That's it 🙌
