description Obsidian Publish Overview
Obsidian Publish provides a web publishing layer for notes written in Obsidian. It lets an author present selected Markdown material as a readable website, retaining the connections that make linked notes useful for exploring a subject. The fit is strongest for material whose value comes from relationships between pages, such as a research collection or a structured body of ideas. Publishing selected notes does not mean exposing an entire private vault.
Authors need to decide which material belongs on the website and which remains local. Researchers and writers can use this approach to share knowledge while continuing to maintain their source notes in Markdown. The defining distinction from a general website builder is its close connection to an existing note collection. It serves as a publishing tool; earning money from access or content is a separate business arrangement rather than a guaranteed result.
help Obsidian Publish FAQ
Does Obsidian Publish upload my entire vault?
No. You select the notes and attachments to publish, and unpublished local files remain outside the site unless you add them later.
Can an Obsidian Publish site use a custom domain?
Yes, Publish supports custom domains as well as the standard publish.obsidian.md address. It also supports features suited to digital gardens and documentation, including backlinks, graph view and full-text search.
Is Obsidian Publish a replacement for Quartz or Hugo?
Publish is a managed hosting service that lets users publish from inside Obsidian without maintaining a build pipeline. Quartz, Hugo and Jekyll offer more control over source code and deployment, but require separate hosting and technical setup.
