"Danger Zone" handling when Supertag can get deleted

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

I just inadvertently deleted one of my most important supertags, I was surprised how easy this was to do. It was in another area (a command line) and I was trying to delete the supertag, but wound up getting the focus into the supertags name and editing that to basically zero letters...at which point the supertag deleted!

Why is this a problem for you?

Possible catastrophic loss off key data

Suggest a solution

if a Supertag is about to get deleted, have Tana put up a warning...or just archive them all so if they are deleted you can recover. Another option is an activity log feature, which I don't think exists, with the ability to revert to a previous state - in this case when the supertag was still in existence

Date-driven page based on all activity of a day, not just dates around Tana

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

Sorry for the proliferation of requests, but finally joined the community after a year using Tana and wanted to add one more thing I'd really like to see!

The "Daily" page is a GameChanger and a great way to see everything going in - in my case I'm using Tana for business so really useful to the enterprises history, etc. However, this could be even better if the page could show ALL the activity on a given day - like an audit trail of a given day. This would require some degree of sophistication as it would be useful to be able to limit what is shown - such as all updates to nodes that are work only, or certain tags only. But something more than just the newly created items, so you could see all that went on in a workspace in a given day of relevance

Why is this a problem for you?

While the "daily" page is great, if there is a big decision made affecting an item that is older, I'd like to be able to see that - for example, that the older node got referenced that day...

Suggest a solution

Have a sort of "activity log" surfaced on the "Daily" page that already exists

change default Workspace for Node creation

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

I would like to be able to quick create a node...however the default is my "named" workspace that came with tana, and I'm working in a new one I set up. It would save time if I could quick-create nodes in the workspace of my choice

Why is this a problem for you?

Causes a lot of overhead when creating a new node

Suggest a solution

either choose default workspace creation in settings, or allow nodes to go to "no workspace" and later be moved to where they need to go

Visible Node ID's

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

This is a common feature of many similar apps to Tana and helps to distinguish similarly-named entities, in this case nodes, from others. I looked and expected this request to be in here already but don't see it, so adding it!

Why is this a problem for you?

Very had to use Tana for repetitive task management with things like "clean the db" or "generate invoices" that will repeat again and again w/out the ability to call out their individual ID's, for example in meetings

Suggest a solution

Have an option to add ID's to each supertag's node as they are generated, or simply just surface the existing unique ID that you can see on the URL of each node
