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.
