# Auto note mover plugin for Obsidian
The auto note mover plugin for Obsidian enables moving notes automatically based on a set of configurable rules.
For instance, it can be configured to move notes containing a specific tag to a specific folder in the Obsidian vault.
This plugin provides a way to automatically move notes around within your knowledge base. This is great as it removes the need to manually file notes.

### How Auto Note Mover Works
This plugin automatically moves notes to their designated folders based on rules.
**Movement Process**:
1. **Rule evaluation**: Checks rules in order when note is created, edited, or renamed
2. **First match wins**: Uses the first rule that matches the note
3. **Automatic movement**: Moves note to designated folder without user intervention
4. **Link preservation**: Obsidian automatically updates all links throughout vault
**Trigger Events**:
- **Note creation**: When new note is created
- **Note editing**: When existing note is modified
- **Note renaming**: When note title changes
- **Manual trigger**: Can also invoke via command palette ("Auto Note Mover: Move the note")
**Important:
- **First match priority**: Rules are checked in order; first matching rule determines destination
- **Attached files don't move**: Files linked to notes stay in original location (not moved along with note)
- **Folder validation**: Warns if destination folder doesn't exist or has name conflicts
- **Exemption mechanism**: Notes with `AutoNoteMover: disable` in frontmatter won't be moved
-
## Tips and tricks
- Auto Note Mover will not move notes that have `AutoNoteMover: disable` in the frontmatter
