Logseq Mastery syllabus
Logseq Mastery builds up your Logseq knowledge with a structured approach that you won't find in any YouTube videos. From the very basics to an advanced level, it will provide a valuable resource for you to come back to when you hit snags later down the line.

- Tutorials provides the point of departure. It's a step-by-step guide to becoming at home in Logseq. It goes into detail about developing good practices for capturing, organizing and retrieving your notes.

A note on updates:
The last major Logseq release was Apr 23rd, 2024. The Logseq team has been focused on the database version, which is currently in closed alpha. The good news is that all the course content is still relevant and applicable.
As mentioned above, the content is organized in two areas: Tutorials and Workflows.
Tutorials cover Logseq features in depth, and provide a deep understanding of how to use them effectively. This is evergreen content, and will remain so beyond the release of the database version.
Workflows cover some aspects which remain evergreen, such as importing content into Logseq, although there are some workflows which have shifted over time. This content is now available on private YouTube playlists, which will be shared here in short time.
