v2.0.0-beta.0

Features

Welcome view

A first-run landing surface appears on fresh installs and upgrades. It shows a live setup timeline with Zotero connection status, a note-folder picker, first-note search, and quick links to docs and community.

A resources strip on the setting tab (release notes, docs, help) is available on both Obsidian 1.13 and older versions.

Annotation view: search and filter

A search row in the annotation view matches text, comment, tag, and page number. A filter bar with color swatches, a first-tag chip, and an inline tag drawer lets you narrow annotations without switching to Zotero. Cards default to collapsed for scanning, and the view reserves status-bar clearance so the list tail is never covered.

See Use the annotation view for the full workflow.

Note-status column in Zotero

The Zotero companion now shows an extra column indicating which items have a corresponding literature note in Obsidian. This gives you an at-a-glance view of your note coverage from within Zotero.

• Tutorial — create your first literature note
