Section Blocks

Turn a "home" or index note into a clean dashboard of sections, and keep the pages and images it links to filed away automatically.

Is this for you?

• You have one main note, such as Home, Projects or Reading, with lists of links that keep growing.
• Finished items clutter the list, but you don't want to delete them.
• New pages end up dumped in the vault root, and images land in one giant attachments folder.
• Moving a note means its images get left behind.

What you get

Sections

• Create section adds a heading with link rows underneath and a folded Archive at the bottom.
• Hover a row: 🔗 turns plain text into a new linked page; 🗄 moves the row into the archive (and back).
• A section index at the top lists every section as a clickable chip. Hide the ones you don't need.

Automatic filing

• Organize section pages of this note: each page a section links to moves into <Pages root>/<Section title>/.
• Organize media: each note's images and videos live in a <note name> media folder right next to the note, and links are updated for you. Run it for one note or the whole vault.
• With Organize media turned on, anything you paste or drop into a note goes straight into that note's media folder.

Quick start

1. Open your index note and run Create section. Type a title.
2. Add one item per line. Click 🔗 on a plain-text row to create the page.
3. Done with something? Click 🗄 to archive it.
4. Optional: run Insert index at top for the clickable section list.

Without the plugin you just see a heading and links.

Works on

Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone / iPad and Android. Folder names are built with characters that are valid on every system, so a synced vault stays consistent everywhere.

Good to know

• The organize commands move files and rewrite links. Back up your vault (or use Obsidian Sync / git history) before the first Organize media of every note.
• Interface in English and Chinese: follows Obsidian's language by default, or pick one under the plugin's Language setting.
• To organize media for the whole vault the plugin lists all files in it. It only works inside your vault and nothing is sent anywhere.
• Works on its own. With Paipa Gallery, files dropped into a gallery follow the same <note> media rule; with Editor Enhancer, sections join its block menu.
