It enhances the foundational features of Obsidian, making them more powerful and easier to use - Markdown becomes easier to use through on-screen tooltips and in-text slash commands - Folders get turned into spaces which better organizes your notes through dashboards and tables - Contexts are improved tags which let you classify the kinds of notes in your vault and its related fields - These can then be viewed using databases with different views and customization options - Notes become prettier with Notion-like banners, icons, and property fields - And lastly, links and notes become editable almost anywhere, letting you focus more on writing then navigating your notes ## Applying Markdown When selecting text, a toolbar shows up that lets you apply common markdown formatting. For other formatting like headers or lists, you can just type a `/` at the beginning of a new line in a note. ## Spaces > [!WARNING] If you lose your spaces view > You can create manual backups for your spaces so when they do get reset, you can load up your backup. I have one on 2023-06-04 which you can access by running the following command: ```button name MAKE.md: Restore Spaces from Backup type command action MAKE.md: Restore Spaces from Backup ``` ^button-1nkk Spaces can be seen as a customizable file explorer. You can open it by running the following command, which you can then see in the top left of your left sidebar: ```button name MAKE.md: Open Spaces type command action MAKE.md: Open Spaces ``` ^button-bsud You can - add sections to store groups of folders - add emojis associated with certain folders or notes By clicking on a certain folder, you'll see a new view. The first tab is the customizable main note for the folder, which you can use to add relevant links or information. I personally use it to create preset sorts and filters via [[Dataview Plugin]] queries. The second tab just shows all the files in the folder, which you can then view in different modes, and also filter and sort to your liking based on their [[Metadata]]. ### Grouping, sorting, and filtering notes using spaces You need to make sure you actually have metadata fields in these notes, and that these notes are in the folder you are trying to group and filter and sort from. You can watch a demonstration video here https://youtu.be/qfK3pFT-wkQ which is the last step in [[Create a new kind of note]] ### In the vault - `My Note Type` contains all the important note types in the vault, there is a space under called `Ultimate Starter Vault` which contains all the files in the vault but is not that important, so you can collapse thato ne ## Contexts _This is not used in the vault, as metadata for note types is stored through folders. Feel free to skip context_ Contexts enhance the tags in your vault. Instead of only being used to classify information, each tag now has it's own fields and becomes its own separate type of note in your vault. Assignments, courses, lectures, all have their own characteristics thanks to their tag, which you can then update through the [[Metadata]] of your notes. ### Creating a new context When creating a new kind of note (ex. a note for labs, or a note for textbooks) - Create a folder and folder note for it (ex. [[My Inputs]]) - Create a new tag and create a template with desired metadata fields (ex. `#input`) - Add frontmatter or [[Metadata#Inline Metadata Fields]] - ex) `Deadline` so you can sort by what's most important, `Course` so you can group based on it - Click on the folder in the `Spaces` view - Top left, `+` and add the tag - Sync properties and add it all - Click on the tag, and change the types of each field to it's proper kind (text, number, link, date, etc) In the vault, I have a generic `#note` context you can use that has the ## Flow Flow Mode lets you edit your notes from practically anywhere. ### Flow Links Here's a normal embed link: ![[Example Note#Example Note]] When hovering over the embed, you can choose to "Toggle Flow", which will let you edit the embed from inside this file. You can also create flow embeds by prefixing normal links with !! ## Appearance And for some bonus goodies hehe ~ If you want your notes to look like Notion with the emojis, image banner, and properties view, you can enable `Show Inline Context`
