Example Obsidian Workbench

Hey there and welcome to Plotto for Obsidian!

Getting Started

The easiest way to start exploring this vault and pick pieces for your new plot is:

Always Create a Scratchpad

  1. Create a blank note in "Plots" – This Plot-Note where you'll keep track of interesting nuggets you find along the way
  2. Stay in "Editor Mode" so that you can quickly take notes in said Plot-Note
  3. Close the file-explorer sidebar as you won't need it

Process 1: Start with a Random Note

Step 1. Prepare Yur Workbench

Example Obsidian Workbench

  • Open your Plot-Note and Pin it to keep it always there
  • Use the top-right file-menu to your Plot-Note "Split Vertically" – You will be opening conflicts and exploring them to the right
  • Use the "Random Note" dice-button in the left sidebar to bubble up a random note

Step 2. Explore and Keep Track

  • Now that you have your scratch-pad and random note open, start to EXPLORE!

Process 2: Using the "Journey" Plugin

  • This vault comes with the Journey-plugin[1] pre-installed and pre-configured
  • In short, the plugin takes two notes and finds the shortest path between them based on the links that exist between them
  • The plugin is configured to only include links of notes in the folder /Conflicts and B-Clauses

Step 1: Plan Your Route

  • Option 1: Manually select 3 conflicts (A, B, C) and write down their IDs
  • Option 2: Use Journey's "I feel lucky"-Button for random conflicts

Step 2: Getting Directions from A to B

  • Click on the Journey icon in the left sidebar
  • Enter the full path for conflict A and B Journey Search Form
  • Hit the Search button Journey Search Result Journey Search Result
  • Copy and paste the result into your scratchpad Journey Search Result

Step 3: Getting Directions from B to C

  • Click on the Journey icon in the left sidebar
  • Enter the full path for conflict B and C
  • Hit the Search button
  • Copy and paste the result into your scratchpad Journey Search Result
Explore and Expand the Basic Plot
