A bullet can show up on several pages at once, such as a goal on each
week's journal page. You edit it in one place, the original, and every
other place shows its current text.

## Setting one up

1. Start a new bullet and type `! `.
2. Pick a bullet from the list that appears.

That bullet now shows the bullet you picked. Edit the original anywhere in
Mimir, and every place it's shown changes with it.

A bullet that's already shown somewhere else can't become a shown copy
itself. Picking from the list leaves it as it was.

You can't type into a shown copy. Under it is the title of the page its
original is on. Click the title to go to the original.

The original shows a small count next to it: **Shown in *N* places**.
Click the count to see every place it's shown.

## Disconnecting a copy

Click the broken-chain button beside the page title under a shown copy.
The copy keeps its current text and becomes an ordinary bullet you can
type into.

If the original is deleted, each shown copy does the same: it keeps the
last text it showed and becomes an ordinary bullet. Nothing marks that it
used to be a copy.
