FAQPage Schema
How do I switch between personal and company Obsidian vaults?

Switching Obsidian vaults involves updating environment references and applicable config files to point to the correct personal or company vault path. This ensures your environment is correctly configured for the target vault.

How does Obsidian vault permission management work in safe versus full mode?

Obsidian vault permissions can be applied in safe mode for read-only access or full mode for read/write operations. This ensures secure or permissive interactions with your vault configuration and content depending on your operational needs.

What happens if my vault-config.yaml file is missing?

If the vault-config.yaml file is missing, the system validates the new vault path and automatically creates a default vault-config.yaml. It then propagates these configuration changes to related tools to maintain consistency.

How do I validate and set a new Obsidian vault path?

Validating and setting a new Obsidian vault path involves checking the new path for errors and updating the environment references. Once validated, the system updates thoughts/config if the directory contains a vault config.

Can I preserve existing Obsidian settings while adjusting vault permissions?

Yes, you can preserve existing Obsidian settings while adjusting vault permissions. The process satisfies requirements for updating environment-based vault references and applies safe or full permission sets without overwriting current configurations.
