Obsidian plugins with #folding#

The Creases plugin provides powerful tools to manage and fold markdown sections efficiently in Obsidian. It allows users to create 'creases' in their notes using fold markers (`%% fold %%`), making it easy to save and restore specific folding states. Users can fold headings by level, crease current folds, toggle creases, or iron them out entirely. The plugin supports workflows such as setting up folded content in templates and maintaining a 'save state' for folds during edits or searches. With additional support for the Templates and Templater plugins, Creases enhances organization and navigation in long documents.

The Fold Properties By Default plugin automatically collapses metadata properties in Obsidian notes to keep them out of the way while still being accessible. It ensures that frontmatter remains folded when opening notes, helping users maintain a cleaner and more focused editing experience. This is particularly useful for those who use extensive metadata but prefer to keep it visually minimized.

The Canvas Folding plugin adds hierarchical folding, global level views and branch focus to Canvas without changing nodes, edges, positions or the .canvas file. It treats directed edges as parent to child relationships, supports graphs with multiple parents, shared descendants and cycles and can collapse one branch, collapse all rooted branches or reveal the canvas through a chosen level. Parent nodes get folding controls with hidden item counts, while visible expanded nodes and groups can show focus controls and a movable toolbar. State is kept per open Canvas tab, with optional persistence in the plugin's local data.json. It works on desktop and mobile, requires Obsidian 1.13.0 or later and can run alongside Advanced Canvas without changing its separate group state.

The Header navigation plugin enhances navigation within Obsidian notes by allowing users to move quickly between headers and toggle their visibility. Users can fold and unfold headers to streamline the view of large documents, making it easier to focus on specific sections. The plugin offers command palette actions for navigation and folding, which can be assigned to hotkeys for faster access. This tool is inspired by the header navigation features found in Emacs org-mode, providing a familiar experience for those accustomed to structured document navigation. It supports efficient movement through long-form content, helping users stay organized and maintain a clear overview of document structure.
