# The See the Forest product system

See the Forest does not create a second summary layer that competes with your notes. Source material, current thinking,
published pages, and the knowledge network stay connected to the same Markdown content. Three products handle distinct
responsibilities.

## Vault maintains how knowledge changes

See the Forest Vault keeps sources, folders, maps of content, and semantic links together with the history of revision.
Agents can help locate, compare, write back, and validate. People retain control over judgment and publication.

## Blog compiles a public knowledge network

See the Forest Blog turns approved notes into articles, topics, search, manifests, Markdown, JSON, and section context.
People and agents read the same published material. Private notes are outside the build input.

## Atlas makes the whole navigable

[See the Forest Atlas](https://seetheforest.net/notes/atlas-en/) places topics, articles, and their real relationships in one
view. It is not a decorative background: every node represents public content, and every connection comes from authored
links or explicit structure.

The three responsibilities meet in [03-实践与案例/pystone.net in practice](https://seetheforest.net/notes/pystone-case-en/). For public interfaces and reading order,
continue with [04-方法与公开资料/Public documentation and entry points](https://seetheforest.net/notes/public-docs-en/).
