David Wilson explains how to define and use custom templates in Org Roam for efficient note-taking.

In this video, we'll learn how to use Org Roam's capture system to define templates that you can fill in when you create new notes. We'll cover a few different scenarios like capturing notes about books, details on new projects, and topic notes where some information is commonly needed.
