What changed

Shiny new things Obsidian Sync: the new Sync History view shows a list of edits across the vault, useful when collaborating on a shared vault. Activate it using the "Sync: Show Sync history" command. You can now click inside a page preview to edit it without opening the note. Improvements Performance Views now load only when visible, improving startup performance and memory usage. This might cause issues with some plugins. We have published a guide to help developers update their plugins. Renaming files is now faster in large vaults. Canvas: Improved performance when panning. There should no longer be a flicker when cards enter and exit the viewport. If you're still seeing related issues, please try switching to default theme. Added a new screen in settings (General → Advanced) to show the total app load time. You can also enable a toggle to get a notified when startup takes too long, including details for debugging. Fixed choppy scrolling between linked Markdown views. Editable page previews and footnotes Added a right-click menu for footnotes to delete both the footnote and its reference. You can now create new footnotes by clicking on the hover preview of a footnote ID. Pressing
