Fold or unfold the properties of one note, a whole folder, or your entire vault in a single click.
Long property blocks push your actual writing down the page. Obsidian lets you fold properties one note at a time. Fold Properties does it in bulk, and the fold is saved for every note, including the ones you haven't opened yet.
