The Folder Canvas plugin brings a fresh way to visualize your Obsidian vault by generating Canvas views directly from a folder. This feature transforms selected folders into a structured, node-based layout, offering a quick overview of Markdown files within. Whether you prefer using the command palette, file menu, or a convenient sidebar ribbon button, the plugin provides multiple ways to create Canvas files seamlessly.

It’s particularly handy for managing notes at a glance, with settings that let you customize node arrangements, dimensions, and spacing. The “Watch Canvas folder” option ensures your Canvas remains updated as files are added or removed from the folder. While it focuses on first-level files, it avoids nested folder complexities, keeping the Canvas clean and focused. With flexible filename patterns and automatic opening upon creation, it’s a great addition for those who want to enhance their note organization visually.
