Category: File Management

#changelog #file-tracking #vault-organization

The Vault Changelog plugin allows users to maintain a changelog of recently edited files within their Obsidian vault. It offers flexibility by enabling manual or automatic updates to the changelog. The plugin requires users to specify a dedicated changelog note, which can be embedded in other notes for convenience. Users can customize the number of recent files displayed and set up automatic refreshes triggered by note modifications, deletions, or renames. This functionality helps users track and manage changes across their vault more efficiently, improving organization and workflow visibility.

Changelog

Fixed

Malformed persisted settings (hand-edited or corrupt data.json) no longer crash plugin load; known settings keys fall back to defaults when their runtime type doesn't match (#174)
"Max recent files" now validates on blur instead of on every keystroke, so clearing the field to retype no longer reverts mid-edit (#175)

Added

Accessible label on the excluded-folder remove button (#176)

Internal

Bump devDependencies: @biomejs/biome 2.5.2, @types/node 26.1.0

Originally created by Badr Bouslikhin.

The changelog note is entirely overwritten on each update. Use a dedicated note and embed it elsewhere if you need historical tracking.

Installation

Open Settings in Obsidian.

Search for "Changelog".
Install and enable the plugin.

Usage

Manual: Command palette > Vault Changelog: Update
Automatic: Enable in settings; the changelog updates whenever a file is modified.

Example Output

- 2025-01-28T1430 · [[Note Title]]
- 2025-01-28T1425 · [[Another Note]]

With wiki-links disabled, [[Note Title]] becomes Note Title. With a heading configured, the heading appears above the list.
