I could use some help in how to proceed.

. I have a notebook with thousands of research notes and many tags. In fact, it is the interconnections that are  crucially important.  I want to start using the AI Search to move from research to narrative. I am afraid to do that without being sure I can get back to where I am if the AI approach doesn’t work out.  Can I duplicate the notebook and play with AI without with making an omlet that can’t be unscrambled

AI search is only a search mode.  It will not affect your notes.  If it doesn't work out, you can return to the traditional search methods.

Thank you, Charles

AI search will only take effect on a few notes, that have been selected before by a conventional search. There is little danger that a large part of your account will be subjected to AI scrutiny.
