Description

The README said to open an issue first.

The docs say to "Restart Obsidian" in steps 4 and 5. There is a reload plugins button in settings that I am guessing did not exist when this was written. I have changes ready to go in a forked repo.

proposed updated text with new image showing the reload plugins button:

Research direction

Start with the linked Getting started page and review steps 4 and 5, which currently tell users to restart Obsidian. Update those instructions to reflect the reload plugins button and include the proposed image; the work is done when the page accurately describes the current plugin-reload workflow.
