Back up, sync or open your library in Obsidian

Your library is plain files. Here is what you can do with them.

Every article is a plain Markdown file in your folder, with its notes, quizzes and chat beside it. So you can:

Back it up or sync it like any folder, for example inside Dropbox or Google Drive.
Open it in Obsidian or any editor. Edit an article and RapidReader picks up the change. Drop a new .md note into the library folder and it becomes an article. Delete one and its article goes; its notes are set aside in library/.trash/.
Back up everything to one file, or restore one, in Integrations → Data Management.
Move to a different folder: Settings → About → Change folder…

Please don’t hand-edit the .json files beside each article; RapidReader doesn’t merge changes to those.
