In the default template, the right-panel is the column attached to the right edge of the main card at lg: (≥1024px) and above. It mirrors the Sidebar’s chrome (gray background, sticky-scrolling, matching width tiers — lg:w-52 / xl:w-72) so the two read as a symmetric pair.
The panel hosts three kinds of “side material”, stacked top-to-bottom:
- Table of contents — neutral-gray hierarchy of the current page’s headings, with scroll-spy highlighting the section in view.
- Timeline heatmap — year-stacked grid of cells where filled days are daily-note backlinks to the current page (see Backlinks).
- Linked from — slim chip list of regular backlinks (non-daily notes that reference the current page); each chip opens a context flyout on hover.
Below lg:, the right-panel hides and a footer-attached strip at the bottom of the card carries the timeline heatmap + regular backlinks list (the TOC is omitted at narrow widths, since the prose dominates).
Why this column exists
Pre-#699 the default theme rendered TOC as a side column nested inside the prose body and pushed backlinks below the article as a separate floating card. The right-panel consolidates both into one attached column inside the same #container card as the sidebar and prose, so the page reads as a single composed unit instead of stacked stripes.
Disabling
The TOC and backlinks each have their own enable knobs (see Table of contents and Backlinks). The right-panel renders only when there’s content for at least one of them — pages with no TOC and no backlinks omit it entirely (no empty gray column).
