# Obsidian 1.13.5 Desktop (Early access)

By Steven Van · 2026-08-05

Improvements The app now waits for configuration files to finish saving when quitting to avoid the file getting corrupted.

Obsidian's early access desktop build **1.13.5** focuses on stability and settings navigation, with a handful of editor fixes.

- The app now waits for configuration files to finish saving before quitting, to avoid corrupting them.

- "Undo close tab" now reopens tabs in the correct tab group and no longer reuses an active "New tab" page.

- The settings window closes on Escape, and Tab/Shift-Tab now move focus between elements instead of staying locked to the current row.

- When Obsidian is fullscreen, the settings window opens on top of the app instead of creating a second fullscreen window.

- Fixes include link suggestions in the property editor, the window not focusing when opened via a vault URI, zoom level resetting after a reload, and vaults on network drives not working.
