Test a representative subset

Copy several notes with links, an attachment and plugin syntax. Choose the copied workspace in Pocket Orbit. Inspect the source after one edit and reopen it in Obsidian.

Keep responsibilities clear

Continue using Obsidian for graph, plugin and specialist workflows. Use Pocket Orbit only for the supported edit or AI task you tested. The inspector lists references but cannot certify plugin behavior or file preservation.
