Obsidian sync (Pro)

One-way incremental sync from LinkWise into your vault with the official plugin.

~7 min read

Obsidian sync is a Pro feature: the official plugin pulls changes from LinkWise into your vault. Sync is one-way. Your Notes and anything outside managed markers are never overwritten.

Install

Create a token in Settings → Preferences → Obsidian sync (shown once).

While community listing is pending, install via BRAT: add beta plugin `https://github.com/lihealth/linkwise-obsidian` (or copy Release assets into `.obsidian/plugins/linkwise-sync/`).

Paste the token, pick a vault folder (default LinkWise/), then Sync now.

What updates

Only managed sections update: Tags, Original, Transcript, Translation, AI summary.

Notes and any text outside <!-- linkwise:begin … --> markers stay yours.

If you edited a managed section, the plugin keeps your version by default and lists it in LINKWISE_SYNC_REPORT.md.

Deletes and Free

Deleting or archiving a bookmark in LinkWise does not delete the local file; the report lists it and may set linkwise_status in frontmatter.

Free accounts cannot sync. Downgrading to Free stops sync without removing local files. Manual export remains free.
