PARA Workflower is an Obsidian plugin to make managing your Vault using the PARA Method, by Tiago Forte, a lot easier.
This plugin offers you a handful of very useful commands to

• Initialize your Vault and prepare it to use PARA method with this plugin
• Create a new Project, Area or Resource
• Easily archive your PARA items (Project, Area, Resource) using the plugin commands
• Restore projects, areas and resources directly or via the plugin's handy fuzzy search function

• added input validation in modal when creating a project, area or resource

• added command Move to archive
  This command will move the currently open project / area / resource to the archive.
  If the file is an area, the companion folder (if exists) is also moved. The area note and companion folder are then placed within a subfolder named after the area in your archive folder.
  If the file is a project and within a project folder the whole project folder will be moved to the archive

• added command Restore from archive
  Restores the currently open PARA item or opens a modal in which you can search for an archived project, area or resource that you want to restore.
  This change is for a more convenient use of the plugin and is now the only command for restoring archived elements.
  If you call the command without a file being open or not archived, the search modal is opened.
  If you call the command with a currently open and archived PARA item, this will be restored immediately.

• command Create new project now checks whether a project with the same name (case insensitive) already exists in the projects or archive folder

• removed command Archive current project

• removed command Restore open project from archive

• removed command Restore project from archive

• add support for project folder structure
  You can enable folder structure for projects under the plugin settings Use folder structure for projects.
  All corresponding commands can now handle both flat and folder structures for projects.

All projects created w/o a project folder (flat) will still be handled as flat projects (single file). This might be changed in the future.

To see all changes to the plugin, go to https://github.com/trucke/para-workflower/releases.
