Documentation

The first version of the help vault was written by Silver. Later part of it was written by @mediapathic, with a big help from Reggie. We also got corrections from the many pairs of eyes in the Discord and forum community.

The docs was maintained by Marcus Olsson for a while. Currently it’s maintained by the Obsidian team.

We now accept pull requests to the help vault in our docs repo. Issues are welcome.
