Tip : If your note has a lot of images or embedded content, it may take a little longer for the link to be ready because Share Note will need to process these elements.

Shared notes will look almost exactly like they do in your Obsidian archive, with the same formatting and theme.

Share Note is completely free and the notes you share won't expire - they'll remain accessible until you decide to delete them.

Manage shared Obsidian notes

If you need to update or delete a note, you can re-upload it by clicking the Upload icon in the note's properties header, or delete it using the trash icon.

You can customize your sharing experience by going to your repository's settings and finding the Note Share section. Here, you can change the sharing theme, turn off encryption (which makes the link shorter but less secure), or set up self-hosting if you want to share notes on your own domain.
