Where did I put that note, and can I find it without digging through folders?

searching settings, bookmarks, or the Sync sidebar by name surfaces the matching items directly, instead of requiring folder-by-folder browsing

Can I get a large image out of my way while reading a note without leaving the app?

clicking the image opens a full-screen viewer with pan and navigation to every other image embedded in that same file

Did I just click a link that will run a command on my machine?

any Obsidian URI now shows a confirmation dialog before it fires, with a per-action allow list controlling which ones skip the prompt

Which of my files are still only synced and not safely duplicated elsewhere, and can I manage them without opening each one?

the Sync sidebar lists files with search and multi-selection, letting several be moved, dragged into other views, or deleted at once

Can I recover a note's earlier state after an accidental edit?

the File Recovery view lists prior file history records, navigable with the arrow keys, so an earlier version can be located and restored

Obsidian 1.15.1 Desktop (Early access) (2026-11-03) Prerelease Nov 3, 2026 · issue 130

Obsidian adds relevance-based search sorting, accent-folding for a dozen languages, and instant workspace display on startup⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠

└──▷ HOW TO FIND IT

Find notes matching a query and surface the closest match first, useful when searching a large vault for a specific topic.

📍In the Search panel, type your query, then open the sort menu and select Relevance.

Run an async vault operation directly from the CLI without wrapping it in an async function.

$ eval code="await app.vault.adapter.list('/')"

Obsidian's search now has a Relevance sort option that ranks notes by best match for your query.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠
Search and search filters in Backlinks, Outline, and Bookmarks now ignore accents (so cafe finds café), and search folds special characters for German, French, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Croatian, Serbian, Vietnamese, Icelandic, Faroese, Maltese, Turkish, and Azerbaijani (so lodz finds Łódź and strasse finds Straße).
The workspace now appears immediately on startup, with progress shown in the status bar instead of a loading screen.
Turn the ribbon on or off for new vaults via Settings → Interface → Show ribbon.
Settings → Files and links → Allow URI callbacks and Settings → Web viewer → Homepage and Search engine are now device-level settings instead of syncing with the vault.

Vaults shared via Sync no longer sync main settings, appearance, themes, snippets, or hotkeys by default when first connected.
Holding Ctrl or Cmd while picking a vault from the vault profile menu in the sidebar now replaces the current window instead of opening a new one.
The obsidian://new URI now appends to a heading when a heading is specified but no append or prepend parameter is given, instead of showing an error.
The CLI's eval command now supports top-level await, for example eval code="await app.vault.adapter.list('/')" .
Community plugin settings that arrived with a shared vault before the plugin was installed are now preserved as data.json.bak instead of being applied.

!Settings → Web viewer → Homepage and Search engine are now per-device settings and no longer sync with the vault.
!Vaults shared via Sync no longer sync main settings, appearance, themes, snippets, or hotkeys by default when first connected.
!Deleting a file now shows an error when it cannot be moved to the system trash, instead of silently moving it to the vault's .trash folder (the CLI's delete command is unaffected).
!Community plugin settings that arrived with a shared vault before the plugin was installed are no longer applied; they are saved as data.json.bak instead.
!Array#contains and String#contains are deprecated — use includes instead.
!FileManager#trashFile and FileManager#promptForDeletion now resolve to false when the file could not be moved to the system trash.
!Plugin developers should use window.setTimeout instead of activeWindow.setTimeout, whose timers never fire once their pop-out window closes.
