Installation

From the community (if published)

1. Open Settings → Community plugins

3. Enable the plugin

Manual installation

1. Copy the outlook-sync folder into .obsidian/plugins/ in your vault
2. Run npm install and npm run build inside the plugin folder

Usage

2. Run sync using one of these methods:

   • Click the calendar icon in the left ribbon
   • Open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and search for Sync Outlook to Day Planner

If there are no events for that date:

- [ ] No events scheduled for this day

If the ## Day Planner section does not exist, it will be created at the end of the note.
