# Use Obsidian as Site Editor & CMS
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obsidian is a powerful, open-source knowledge base management tool designed for individuals and teams. It helps users organize, structure, and connect their thoughts, ideas, and information in a flexible and intuitive way. Using Obsidian as your local content manager can massively speed up your site creation process.

|
|
bnkops Change Maker V3 comes bundled with backend that automatically updates Obsidian internal links. This is a great way to get started if you are new to Obsidian or want to use it as your primary content manager.
|
|
|
|
Obsidian has all the standard document editor palettes, including support for templates, code injection, and command palettes. It is also much easier on the eyes to edit within Obsidian; the system matches what the live preview will render.
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
Download and install [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/)
|
|
### Navigate to BankOps Change Maker Directory
|
|
Navigate to the location where you have already extracted the BankOps Change Maker files. Note path to docs folder inside your application.
|
|
### Open "docs" Folder as Obsidian Vault
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Step 1: Open Folder as Vault**
|
|
On a brand new Obsidian install, you will be given options to open vaults. Choose "Open Folder as Vault" and select the docs folder inside your Change Maker V3 application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Step 2: Configure Vault Settings**
|
|
One setting does need updating to ensure compatibility. Under Settings -> Files and links -> 'Use [Wikilinks](Wikilinks.md)' turn to off. This has no affect on Obsidian and makes site building much smoother.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is also advised to switch 'New link format' to relative path. Again this helps with site building.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure additional settings as desired, such as setting a vault name or enabling plugins.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
Right now, bnkops can only guarantee that the base Obsidian configuration will work with the docs folder. Installing plugins may break system. Experiment away.
|
|
|
|
## Obsidian Sync
|
|
Obsidian offers a syncing services that works across all platforms for $6 a month. This is a incredible way to sync your docs folder across any number of devices; including a entire team. This allows you to use [obsidian](obsidian.md) as your documentation and CMS system everywhere.
|
|
|
|
If you want to do this for free, you can use [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) as alternative. Set up your docs folder in a sync across devices and open as a folder. |
