Visual Sync

Now you can see exactly what is happening with your files without leaving the editor.

• Tab Status Icons: Instant feedback on the file you are editing.
  • 🟠 Syncing: Spinning icon indicates the file is being uploaded/downloaded.
  • 🟢 Synced: A checkmark appears briefly when synchronization is complete.
• Smart History: Know the direction of your data.
  • ↙️ Incoming: Changes received from a remote device.
  • ↗️ Outgoing: Local changes sent to other devices.

Conflict Resolution

When a sync conflict occurs, a red alert will appear in the Syncthing View.

1. Click the alert to open the Conflict Resolver.
2. Select Compare Content for a side-by-side comparison.
3. Choose:
   • Keep Original: Deletes the conflict file.
   • Use Conflict Version: Overwrites your local file with the remote version.

Control Center

• Pause/Resume: Control specific folders directly from the plugin.
• Device Status: See connected devices by name.

File Versioning

Configure versioning strategies (Trashcan, Simple, Staggered) and restore previous versions of files directly within Obsidian.

Ignoring Files (.stignore)

Prevent layout issues by ignoring workspace configuration files.

1. Open Settings > Syncthing Manager > Edit .stignore.
2. Use "Add Common Patterns" to quickly ignore workspace.json, .obsidian/workspace, or OS files like .DS_Store.

History Filter

Keep your activity log clean by hiding system files from the history view.
