Apart from linking, UR has other features available only in the top organizers: selection of multiple, non-contiguous topics; tabbed interface (or the equivalent of one: with multiple selected notes, the child list turns into an open topic list); and unlimited undo.

In fact, UR is to my knowledge the only multi-pane outliner on Windows with unlimited universal undo. It may be the only database application period with this feature. Microsoft has gone far in implementing undo widely, but in OneNote most but not all operations are subject to the undo and redo commands.

I don't know why programmers fail to implement undo in the tree portion of a multi-pane outliner, but this is true even where the program displays souped up outlining features that cry out for undoability. In ADM the tree is simply not subject to undo, and in notes there is only a single undo possible. Universal undo gives the user the greatest freedom to experiment, vital to this kind of program, and it seems that Kinook alone sees this necessity.
