Draftist Docs

Commands

All Draftist commands are available through Obsidian's command palette (summoned via Ctrl/Cmd + P). Some are also accessible via the file explorer context menu.

Content

These commands work with any content type — blog posts, doc pages, and any future modules.

  • Insert image — picks an image from your vault or filesystem, copies it into the content's images/ folder, and inserts it at the cursor.
  • Insert gallery — same as above, but for multiple images arranged in a gallery layout.
  • Normalize images — moves images into the images/ folder and normalizes filenames.
  • Preview and publish — uploads assets, saves the current note as a Draftist draft, and opens a preview in the browser. Use the preview toolbar to publish or manage availability.
  • Manage on Draftist — opens the current post or page on Draftist so you can publish, unpublish, archive, restore, or delete it.
  • Open live version — opens the live post or doc page on your site. Available only for published content.
  • Pull metadata from Draftist — refreshes the current note's Draftist status and publication metadata. If the content no longer exists on Draftist, local Draftist metadata and image metadata sidecars are removed.
  • Normalize frontmatter — sorts frontmatter fields into a consistent order and adds any missing fields.

Blog Module

  • Create new blog post idea — creates a new post with Idea status. You'll pick a site, enter a title, and optionally a description.
  • Create new blog post draft — same as above, but with Draft status.
  • Set cover image — sets a cover image for the current post, with optional credit text and link.
