How To Use Obsidian: Introduction To Folders, Links, And Tags

You keep asking for them, so I keep making them! This is another Obsidian video where I explain the difference between Obsidian folders, links, and tags. I also go over ways I use them, examples of when you might want to use them too, and I run through a couple quick hypothetical scenarios so you can see them in action.
If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns, then hit me up in the comments or drop me an email for suggestions about what else you'd like me to cover.

I misspeak around 8:25 where I mean to talk about tags, but I say links. Whoops!

I'm trying to put my roleplaying game on Obsidian, and I wanted to link chronological events. You just made a very interesting point to me :) thank you so much !

Jonathan, I have been messing around for weeks trying to learn how to use Obsidian. I have watched countless CZcams videos on the subject. I have read a lot of the Obsidian documentation. I’m still messing around. Until now. Your explanations are the clearest I’ve found on folders, links, tags. Maybe your style of explanation perfectly matches my style of learning and understanding. I had come to a partial understanding of links. When I read your exquisite line, “Links are connections between the titles of each note.”, it all came together. I was approaching that but not with the conciseness and clarity of your statement. It is magical. Keep up the great work.

Jim, that means the world to me to see you say that. Really happy that it clicked for you. Anything else you'd like to have me dive into?

Thanks for the video. I love the new properties feature with tags. I like clean notes.

[@zavant]
