- Search for "Changelog".

Usage
- Manual: Command palette >
Vault Changelog: Update - Automatic: Enable in settings; the changelog updates whenever a file is modified.
Example Output
- 2025-01-28T1430 · [[Note Title]]
- 2025-01-28T1425 · [[Another Note]]
With wiki-links disabled, [[Note Title]] becomes Note Title. With a heading configured, the heading appears above the list.
