While SilverBullet is not a “proper” outliner like e.g. [LogSeq](https://logseq.com), it does offer useful commands to manage outlines.

An outline is simply a (nested) bulleted list, for instance:

* Introduction
  * Context
  * Problem space
  * Solution space
* Problem statement
  * Problem A
    * Sub problem 1
    * Sub problem 2
  * Problem B
  * Problem C
* Related work
  * Area A
  * Area B
  * Area C
* Solution
* Conclusion

# Commands
SilverBullet offers a number of `Outline` commands to make manipulating content easier. Note that on Mac `Mod` binds to `Cmd`, on Linux and Windows it’s `Ctrl`.

These commands work on different types of content depending on where your cursor is:

* **List items** (bullet and ordered): moves/indents the item and its children
* **Headings**: moves entire sections (heading + all content until the next heading at the same or higher level); indent/outdent adjusts heading level (e.g. `##` to `###`)
* **Table rows**: moves data rows up/down within the table (header row cannot be moved)
* **Paragraphs**: moves top-level paragraphs up/down relative to adjacent blocks

## Move and indent

* `Outline: Move Up` (`Alt-ArrowUp`): moves the current element up
* `Outline: Move Down` (`Alt-ArrowDown`): moves the current element down
* `Outline: Move Right` (`Mod-. l`): indents the current element one level deeper
* `Outline: Move Left` (`Mod-. h`): outdents the current element one level higher

## Folding

* `Outline: Fold`: folds the current item’s children
* `Outline: Unfold`: unfolds the current item’s children
* `Outline: Toggle Fold` (`Mod-. Mod-.`): toggles the current item’s fold state
* `Outline: Fold All`: folds all sections in the entire page
* `Outline: Unfold All`: unfolds all sections in the entire page
