# Obsidian Bases Obsidian Bases is an [[Obsidian]] core plugin focused on querying data. Bases are queries stored in ".base" files. Those queries describe the data that should be included in the results (e.g., all notes in folder foo and having tag bar), and how those should be sorted/rendered/etc. Bases can currently (2025-06-27) be displayed as tables or as cards. Over time, more layouts will probably be added. ## References - Documentation: https://help.obsidian.md/bases - Initial announcement: https://obsidian.md/changelog/2025-05-21-desktop-v1.9.0 - 2025-06-26 improvements: https://obsidian.md/changelog/2025-06-26-desktop-v1.9.3/
