Next Step
Setup
Configuration guides for an app the reader has already chosen or just migrated into: vault and folder structures, PARA-method or second-brain setups, starter plugin sets, and template starting points, scoped tightly to personal knowledge management rather than general productivity advice. Serves readers at a distinct, later task stage than Comparisons or Migrations: the decision is made, and they need the tool working. Excludes app-vs-app evaluation and migration mechanics entirely. Each guide is reached primarily as the 'next step' link from the matching migration guide or tool profile, not as standalone blog browsing.
