Foam helps you to find orphans: notes that have neither forward links nor backlinks.
Orphans can be found in the Orphans panel.
Two settings allows you to control the behaviour of the Orphans panel:
foam.orphans.exclude: list of glob patterns that will be used to exclude directories. For example, a value of ["journal/**/*"] would exclude your daily notes.foam.orphans.groupBy: sets the default view mode of the Orphans panel: either groups by folder (by default), or lists all orphans. The view can be toggled on the fly from the panel, but it won’t overwrite the setting.
