This article will guide you on how you can batch edit properties in your Obsidian notes.

As an avid Obsidian user, I understand the importance of keeping your notes organized and structured. One key aspect of this is managing properties or YAML frontmatter across your notes.

Imagine, you have a large vault containing hundreds or even thousands of notes, and you need to make a change to a specific property across all of them.

Perhaps you want to add a new tag, modify an existing one, or remove an unnecessary property.

If you want to maintain consistency across all of your notes, how do you do it?

Opening each note individually and manually editing the properties would be incredibly time-consuming.

I also faced this problem. And after researching for a bit, and experimenting with a few solutions, I came across this plugin called Linter. This plugin helps us do exactly what we want to.
