Restructuring Old Notes (lemmy.world)

When reinventing the wheel and coming up with a new clever way to structure notes or new info to add to the YAML, how do you treat your old notes?

Do you go back and apply the new format or do you just leave them as is only looking forward?

If you revisit old notes, do you have a strategy?

I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions.

For some types of metadata, I've used dataview to make a list of notes missing the key fields I want, then I can go back from time to time when I'm bored, and add the new data.

I also use this to summarize things like meeting notes after a day or so to digest what I heard.
