Obsidian for windows: how to check for updates? (lemdro.id)

Usually apps either checks for update automatically or have a button on the "about" dialog. Obsidian "About" dialog does even have a link to the obsidian webpage.

How one expected to find out that a new version is released?

This is answered on the Obsidian help page. TL;DR: it automatically updates. Version is in the upper left corner of Settings -> About.

Thank you! Now I found, that there is "about" section in settings as well and there is a "check for updates" button (I expected this in help->about). PS: Auto-update setting was on, but my Obsidinan has never auto-updated.

Related to version updating for community plugins: I've found that Plugin Update Tracker By Steven Swartz is useful

O, I completely forgot about plugins (I'm not a heavy plugins user.

Thank you!

Thank you for trying to think of us, but I wasn’t asking for help at all so I’m not sure why I was tagged with @. I also barely use plugins.
