Files is a [[Core plugins|core plugin]] that lets you create, rename, manage, move, sort, and collapse or expand files and folders within your Obsidian vault. This plugin is enabled by default. ![[ui-files.png]] These icons let you: - create a new note - create a new folder - change the sort order of the files and folders displayed - collapse or expand all folders respectively. In Files, you can also right click on any note or folder and select from a number of options including renaming, opening, and moving files. Dragging and dropping within Files is another way of moving them from one folder to another. > [!tip] Move and rename files in Obsidian > When you move or rename files, do so in Obsidian rather than in your local Finder/File Explorer. Obsidian automatically updates links referring to that file, or the files within the folder, to point to the new location. > > When you move or rename files within your local file system, the links are not updated.
