# Obsidian 1.13.6 Desktop (Early access)

By Steven Van · 2026-08-07

Improvements Sliders in settings now use the accent color.

[Obsidian](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/apps/obsidian>)'s 1.13.6 desktop early access build removes the dialog that asked users to approve URI actions, which the changelog says was creating more confusion for non-technical users than it solved. It follows other guardrails added in 1.13, such as Mermaid diagrams being off by default. Sliders in settings now use the accent colour.

- Fixed a bug where pressing the back button on a settings page would not always focus the setting item that opened the page.

- Fixed images not opening full screen in Live Preview if they contain a URL hash suffix (#).

- Fixed a memory leak in Live Preview caused by reordering rows or columns in a Markdown table.

- Restored the old behaviour of embedded YouTube and Twitter links in Live Preview: they no longer have a selection state or an overlaid edit button.
