Thank you so much for this video. This is totally topical and timely. I've spent the last month transitioning my multibook saga from Scrivener to Obsidian and this video is a revelation. There aren't many (or maybe none) videos that concisely deal with long-form writing in Obisidan.
At around 12:00 you are editing the table in a seamless way where it doesn't collapse into various clumsy formatting characters...pipes and dashes etc. How are you doing this? Thanks! @@DannyHatcherTech
I figured it out. This is a feature of the new 1.5.x build for early adopters, developers etc. I purchased a Catalyst Membership for $25 and now have built 1.5.1 with this functionality. Huge improvement as far as table editing goes for sure. 🙂
Excellent demo of long form writing within Obsidian. Scrivener was nice, but seems to have had its day. Obsidain with Canvas can be so much more than just letting notes.
Hi! I have a question. I noticed you had a specific drop down for your properties. That is a really cool feature and I was wondering how you achieved that. Is there a video I can watch on how to set that up? Im moving over from CampFire and the one thing I miss is being able to set up specific answers for drop downs all at once. For example if I had a setting page and a property was "type", I would want to be able to set the answers to town, village, castle, etc. I know you can kind of do this, but I don't want to have to enter them all in on a separate note just for those to show up in my notes later. I really liked your video and it has given me a ton more hope for Obsidian. I plan to watch as many of your videos as possible now, I just wanted to get this question answered. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your process with us. It's great to see how Obsidian can be applied to a lot of different interests and activities. Just a heads-up / future reference thing though, the format you're using around 11 minutes is called a "plot grid" or "series grid," not a storyboard. Of the two, "plot grid" is more of an umbrella term, while "series grid" is specific to this method and comes from a book dedicated to it. Viewers should be able to find resources that explain the technique in further depth using either term.

Glad I could help 😁

The Metadata menu plugin does that. I have a video about it but there have been updates which is a video I am working on.
Happy to help where I can 😁
This is so cool!!!

Ah thank you!
I used storyboard as that is what other video cretora have apoken to use.
Nice to know 😁
Where can I find those codes?
I am not sure what you mean by codes but there is a template in the description 😁
