Titles of cloned notes in the tree view have an asterisk to the right to easily see that the note is also placed into some other location.
## Prefix
Since notes can be categorized into multiple places, it's recommended to choose a generalized name that fits into all locations instead of something more specific to avoid confusion. In some cases this isn't possible so Trilium provides "branch prefixes", which is shown before the note name in the tree and as such provides a specific kind of context. The prefix is location specific, so it's displayed only in the tree pane.
## Deleting notes/clones
With clones, it might not be immediately obvious how deleting works.

You can sort notes by right-clicking the parent note in the <a class="reference-link" href="../UI%20Elements/Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a> and selecting Advanced -> Sort notes by ... This will sort existing notes, but will not automatically sort future notes added to this parent note.
The sorting dialog allows:
* Sorting by title, creation or modification date.
* Changing sorting direction can also be adjusted (ascending or descending).
* Ensuring folders are displayed at the top.
* Natural sort, based on the sorting rules of a particular language.

The advanced options menu offers some of the less frequently used actions for notes.
To access these options, first look for the _Advanced_ option in the contextual menu to reveal a sub-menu with:
* **Apply bulk actions**
* Opens the <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Advanced%20Usage/Bulk%20Actions.md">Bulk Actions</a> dialog, to apply actions such as adding labels or moving notes to multiple notes at once (see <a class="reference-link" href="Multiple%20selection.md">Multiple selection</a>).
* **Edit branch prefix**
* Opens a dialog to assign a name to be able to distinguish [clones](../../Notes/Cloning%20Notes.md), see <a class="reference-link" href="../../Notes/Cloning%20Notes/Branch%20prefix.md">Branch prefix</a> for more information.
* **Convert to attachment**
* Converts the selected notes to <a class="reference-link" href="../../Notes/Attachments.md">Attachments</a> of their parent notes.
* This functional is most useful when dealing with image <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Note%20Types/File.md">File</a> notes that were imported from an external source or an older version of Trilium.
* **Duplicate subtree**
* Creates a copy of the note and its descendants.
* This process is different from <a class="reference-link" href="../../Notes/Cloning%20Notes.md">Cloning Notes</a> since the duplicated note can be edited independently from the original.
* An alternative to this, if done regularly, would be <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Advanced%20Usage/Templates.md">Templates</a>.
* **Expand subtree**
* Expands all the child notes in the <a class="reference-link" href="../Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a>.
* **Collapse subtree**
* Collapses all the child notes in the note tree.
* **Sort by…**
* Opens a dialog to sort all the child notes of the selected note.
* The sorting is done only once, there is an automatic sorting mechanism as well that can be set using <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Advanced%20Usage/Attributes.md">Attributes</a>.
* See <a class="reference-link" href="../../Notes/Sorting%20Notes.md">Sorting Notes</a> for more information.
* **Copy note path to clipboard**
* Copies a URL fragment representing the full path to this branch for a note, such as `#root/Hb2E70L7HPuf/4sRFgMZhYFts/2IVuShedRJ3U/LJVMvKXOFv7n`.
* The URL to manually create <a class="reference-link" href="../../../Note%20Types/Text/Links.md">Links</a> within notes, or for note <a class="reference-link" href="../../Navigation">Navigation</a>.
* **Recent changes in subtree**
