Note Refactor is a [[community plugin]] for [[base/Obsidian/Obsidian]] by James Lynch that simplifies refactoring your notes. I use the command **Extract selection to new note - first line as file name** (which I have mapped to hotkey `Ctrl+Shift+N`) to refactor one selection at a time. There is also an option to split an entire note by a specified header level, however I have found that I like the control of refactoring one-by-one. ## Custom settings - **Default location for new notes**: `Same as current file` - **Exclude first line:** TRUE - **Include heading:** FALSE - **Open New Note:** TRUE - **Normalize heading levels:** TRUE To populate the note automatically with the `parent` property from the note that it was refactored from, populate the **Refactored note template** as ``` --- topic: <insert topic> parent: "{{link}}" --- {{new_note_content}} ```
