How do I ingest documents into an Obsidian wiki while preserving provenance?▼

You can ingest documents into an Obsidian wiki using append, full, or raw ingest modes for files or directories. The process distills knowledge, tracks provenance for each claim, and generates wikilinks to maintain a connected knowledge base.

What is the difference between append, full, and raw ingest modes for knowledge distillation?▼

Append, full, and raw ingest modes control how source documents are distilled and integrated into your Obsidian wiki. These modes support processing single files or entire directories while automatically updating the manifest, index, log, and hot cache.

Can I ingest a whole directory of files into Obsidian and auto-update the index?▼

Yes, you can ingest an entire directory of files into Obsidian. The workflow automatically updates the wiki structure via the manifest, index, log, and hot cache while preserving source attribution and building rich cross-references.
