### Update 4

**IMPORTANT Information**
- To simplify updating customers of updates to the Cornell Notes Learning Vault, I will no longer send an email from Lemon Squeezy to you directly; instead, I have set up a Substack newsletter. This way, each user can choose whether to receive updates about CNLV. Substack has the advantage of giving users more choices on how to stay informed. I will occasionally post user tips and relevant information about Cornell Notes in this newsletter. 
	- To signup for this, please go to https://cnlv.substack.com. Once signed up, you can configure if you will receive email notifications. Again it's free!
	- Additionally, as a reminder, you can always download the most current version of the Cornell Notes Learning Vault from your orders page at https://app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders.

**NEW**
- Support for the **Style Settings plugin**. This plugin makes it easier to modify the visual settings for Cornell Notes. For example, controlling the width of cues and the heights of summaries. This plugin is optional and not required to use the Cornell Notes system, but it is super convenient. 
	- For more information, see [[Customizing Cornell Notes with the Style Settings Plugin]]. (*Inspired by: [@stefrausch](https://mastodon.online/@stefrausch)*)
- **CSS Hack**: [[CSS Snippet Hacks#Make the title area of a callout that is a cue default to standard text formatting|Make the title area of a callout that is a cue default to standard text formatting]] (*Inspired by: `jkenton on Discord`*)
- New Class for Tufte sidentoes: `tufte-hide-footnotes`. Hides footnotes from being displayed in a document. See [[Using Tufte Sidenotes in Obsidian#tufte-hide-footnotes|Using Tufte Sidenotes in Obsidian]] for more information.

**IMPROVEMENTS**
- Improvements to **Live Preview**: One of the most requested improvements is to make Live Preview and Cornell Notes work together. Much work has been put into this, and it is being improved. However, it is still not flawless. The challenge is Live Preview isn't designed to visualize floating text in the margins. But I encourage you to give it a try for a few days. I do use it because you learn where it works well and where it doesn't work. I will continue to put forth the effort to improve this over time.

**FIXES**
- Many tweaks to the underlying CSS snippets to improve compatibility with Obsidian and other community plugins and themes. Make sure to update the CSS snippets from this Learning Vault into your personal vault.
- **Obsidian Properties**: Obsidian is starting public testing of Properties. The Cornell Notes Learning Vault has been updated to be compatible with this feature, however, since the feature is still in development and testing, we should not be surprised to discover some things that need fixing in the Learning Vault.

**Other Interesting Things**
- New online article [Tufte Style Sidenotes in Obsidian](https://medium.com/obsidian-observer/tufte-style-sidenotes-in-obsidian-89b0a785bc54)

==**What do you need to do?**==
- These updates include updates to important files that you will likely want to copy to your personal vault. 
	- You should update any  CSS Snippets from this vault you use in your personal vault to your personal vault. 
	- Also, if you are using the optional templates provided by this vault, they have been updated and should be copied to your personal vault.
	- All the Tufte-style sidenote files have been updated, including the CSS Snippet and template with startup code. 

### Update 3

**NEW**
- **Tufte sidenotes**: Some users have asked for Tufte-style sidenotes. Therefore, a new "experimental" and mostly reliable feature is added to the Cornell Notes Learning Vault to enable Tufte sidenotes. Learn more about this feature at [[01 Introduction to Tufte Sidenotes|Introduction to Tufte Sidenotes]].
	- Please note this is an experimental feature and doesn't work with all of Obsidian's document features.
	- Additionally, the vault configuration of this feature is for advanced users. You will need to be comfortable with installing and configuring the Templater plugin. 
	- You can use the **Tufte - Add support to document for sidenotes** template to quickly make a note support Tufte sidenotes.
- A new **[[CSS Snippet Hacks]]** document has been added to the vault. This contains various hacks from the community for enhancing  Cornell Notes in Obsidian.

**FIXES**
- Updated files theme-default-and-others.css and theme-minimal - fixed issue when using the banner.css and border lines together
- The template: "Cornell Note - Make a Cornell Note" was updated.


### Update 2

>Note: Both banner.css and cornell.css have numerous updates. I recommend updating these documents in your personal vaults with the files included in this updated vault to get all the new features and tweaks. The templates were not changed, so they do not need to be updated.

**NEW**

- **Summary at the top of the page**.
	- A [Nick Milo](https://twitter.com/NickMilo) inspired feature! This is a great "modern" take on Cornell Notes. There is now an option to have the document summary appear at the top of a page. 
	- Check out the new document sample [[New Product - Quarterly Goals]]  that demonstrates this new type of summary.
	- The document [[04 SUMMARY Callouts]] has been updated with information on how to use this "Summary at the top"
	- The height of the summary at the top can be adjusted with: --cornell-summary-callout-top-height. See [[Customizing the CSS]] for more information.

- **Printing - Export to PDF**
	- Improvements to the cornell.css file for supporting Export to PDF. For more information, see the new document: [[Printing - Export to PDF]]. 
	- Updated the banner.css file to better handle when using the Export to PDF feature of Obsidian. Also added a frontmatter value for `cssclass` called `banner-no-print` to prevent the banner from showing when using Export to PDF.  More information is available at: https://tfthacker.com/banner-image
 
- **New sample documents**
	- [[New Product - Quarterly Goals]] -  Demonstrates use of cues for goals
	- [[Simple Example]] - This is a barebones example document, so you can see the cues and frontmatter needed for different effects without too much text around it.

- **New support options**
	- You can find me on Discord at: https://discord.gg/6HfUwK8gxC in the cornell-notes channel for real-time discussion and support.

**FIXES**
- Fixed bugs in templates 
	- [[3-Resources/_Systems/Templates/CNLV/Cornell Note - Make a Cornell Note|Cornell Note - Make a Cornell Note]]
	- [[3-Resources/_Systems/Templates/CNLV/Cornell Note -- Add Banner Image|Cornell Note -- Add Banner Image]]
- Fixes to all CSS Snippets - based on community feedback, many improvements were made.

### Update 1
**NEW**

	- [[Install and Config Templater]]
	- Templated added:
		- [[Cornell Note - Make a Cornell Note]]
