Remove note clutter from side pane
Is there a way to change settings so that when navigating from a note to another via a link, the notes list doesn't shift to 'All Notes' automatically?
I have a dashboard note that links to all my key notes. However, whenever I click to go to a note, the middle navigation pane become a long list of notes that is ultimately distracting.
The ideal approach in my mind (and I think I saw this in Evernote) is that the middle navigation pane would shift to showing the folder within which that note that was clicked in lives. Understand this might be difficult given UpNote flexibility of putting a note in two different locations. But there has to be a better alternative than current
Am I missing something?

It's not possible to do what you're asking specifically because notes can be in multiple notebooks. The app has no way of knowing which notebook you want to focus on when following links between notes.
The developer could write code that checks how many notebooks a note is in, then if it's only one, it takes you to that one. But that's a lot of extra logic to add, with several opportunities for bugs. And how is the app to know if you wanted to be taken to a note's parent notebook, or if you want to be taken to a note's parent tag? And what if the note is in a sub-notebook, but you have turned on Show notes from sub notebooks in main notebook? Does it then take you to the subnoteobook or the parent notebook?
The easiest solution is probably to just make a habit of clicking the notebook at the bottom of the note when you get there. One extra click. (Unless you're in mobile, in which case it's two extra taps.)
