Obsidian editor-behavior priority map

Tier 1: product behavior pages

Start here for editor/product behavior:

  • help/en/Editing and formatting/Views and editing mode.md
  • help/en/Live preview update.md
  • help/en/Editing and formatting/Obsidian Flavored Markdown.md
  • help/en/Linking notes and files/Internal links.md
  • help/en/Plugins/Backlinks.md
  • help/en/Plugins/Outline.md
  • help/en/Plugins/Search.md
  • help/en/User interface/Settings.md

Why:

  • these define editing modes, linking behavior, navigation, and search
  • they are the strongest product-facing pages for the editor experience

Tier 2: developer editor surface

Then read:

  • developer/en/Plugins/Editor/Editor extensions.md
  • developer/en/Plugins/Editor/Editor.md
  • developer/en/Plugins/Editor/Markdown post processing.md

Why:

  • these explain how Obsidian exposes its editor platform
  • they help on architecture and extension-system comparisons

Lower-priority but relevant later

  • graph view
  • slash commands
  • tags view
  • CSS-variable editor references

Useful later, not first.
