0.97: documentation for collections is empty

[hulmgulm]

Description

I wanted to check the documentation for the new collections, but it looks like it is somehow missing in my installation:

• it is still called Books
• the sub detail pages are empty
• the sub detail pages are spread between NoteList and Book

I see this on both, the server and the windows client.

TriliumNext Version

0.97.0

What operating system are you using?

Windows

What is your setup?

Local + server sync

Operating System Version

Hi @hulmgulm! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Trilium team.

The documentation for collections is present in TriliumNext 0.97.0, but its structure can make it appear empty or fragmented. The main "Collections" page contains an overview, but the detailed sub-pages (like Calendar View, Table View, etc.) are actually clone notes that redirect to their primary documentation under "Note List" elsewhere in the user guide. This cross-linking means that browsing the Collections section directly may show empty or minimal content for these sub-pages, which matches what you're seeing. The terminology transition from "Books" to "Collections" is still ongoing in some parts of the UI and docs, which can add to the confusion. The documentation files are included in the build, so this isn't a packaging issue—it's a result of how the docs are organized and linked right now. For full details on each view, check the corresponding sections under "Note List" in the user guide.
Reference: Collections documentation file

To reply, just mention @dosu.

I can reproduce on 0.97.1
the URL for the "primary location" goes nowhere: "Router not found for request GET /Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/Notes/Note%20List/List%20View.html"
