In-browser file editor

Fix a typo, reword a paragraph, or roll back to yesterday's version — without opening Obsidian.

The editor is available to admins only. Readers never see it.

The editor open on a note. Left: folder-tree file browser. Center: the note's markdown. Top-right: Save and Versions.

How to open the editor

The editor icon appears in two places:

  • Top-right of the admin panel — click it from any admin screen.
  • Next to the search bar on every page — visible only when you are logged in as admin.

Click the icon. The note for the page you were just viewing opens automatically.

Browse and switch files

The left side of the editor shows a folder tree of everything in your vault. Click any file to load it into the editor. The tree reflects the same folder structure you see in Obsidian.

Edit and save

Type directly in the editor. Your changes stay in the browser — nothing is written to the server until you press Save. If you close the editor or navigate away before saving, the edits are lost.

After you save, the page reflects the new content immediately. If live-editing is active on your site, the update appears to readers without a page reload.

Note: if you edit a file in the browser and then sync the same note from Obsidian, the Obsidian version overwrites the browser edit. The rule is: the last sync wins.

Versions panel

Every time you save, trip2g stores a version of the file.

The versions panel on the right — a list of past saves with dates, one selected, with a Restore button.

To go back to an earlier state:

  1. Open the editor on the file you want to restore.
  2. Click Versions (top-right, next to Save).
  3. Click a version in the list — its content loads into the editor.
  4. Click Save to make it the current version, or close the panel to discard.

In the editor, hover over any [[wikilink]] — the cursor changes to a pointer. Hold Ctrl (or Cmd on macOS) and click to open the linked note directly in the editor.

This lets you jump through connected notes the same way you would in Obsidian.

Where the editor icon sits
