Obsidian’s Insider Build 1.4.1 has a new feature called “Properties,” which lets us manage metadata for each file using a user-friendly UI. We can hide YAML Front Matter from our file and view properties in a side panel, making a much cleaner experience.

I’m looking forward to the possibilities!

@rcrackley, the data is still stored in the file YAML front matter. The new feature only creates a UI to manage the data more efficiently.

It also allows links to other notes which wasn’t allowed before.

@rcrackley @otaviocc Yeah, it just writes the YAML, like before.

It would be nice if the plugin could ignore any YAML at the top of the file.
