# Publish and Order Runbook For the session after the prefix removal. The number-dash prefixes are gone from every published folder and file in the repo. Nothing is live on fellguide.com until you publish from the app. Order now lives in two places instead of the filename: the Publish navigation dialog for the site, and an optional sort plugin for your local app tree. Keep `_Canon/NAV_ORDER_MAP.md` open as your drag checklist. It lists every folder and page in the order to set. ## Before you start - Open Obsidian on the remote machine. The vault pulls from the repo on its own through the Obsidian Git plugin. - Confirm you see clean names in the file tree (The Characters, The Lineages, Combat Basics) and no `N - ` prefixes. If you still see prefixes, the vault has not finished pulling yet. ## Step 1, publish the renames - Open Publish changes. Expect a large diff, hundreds of moved and renamed files. That is the prefix removal landing. Publish all of it. - When it finishes, the live site has clean names but sits in alphabetical order until you do Step 2. That is expected and temporary, not a bug. ## Step 2, set the navigation order (the site) - Open the navigation management dialog in the Publish changes flow. - Work folder by folder. Order the seven top folders first (The Introduction, The Characters, The Combat, The Arsenal, The Treasure, The Customization, The Lore), then open each and drag its children into the order shown in NAV_ORDER_MAP.md, top to bottom. - Most lists are short. The long one is The Lineages with 37 entries. - Right-click to hide anything that should not appear in nav (a folder-note duplicate, for instance). - Selecting Done sends the order to the site. ## Step 3, confirm the homepage - Check that the site root still lands on Overview. Overview was never renamed, but if Publish dropped the homepage setting during the rename, re-select Overview as the homepage in the site options. ## Step 4, optional, the local app sidebar - The app file tree sorts alphabetically on its own. To match your nav order in the app without bringing prefixes back, install the community plugin Custom File Explorer sorting by SebastianMC. It is the maintained option. Bartender is defunct, do not use it. - It supports drag-and-drop ordering and per-folder rules written in a small block of frontmatter. We will set it up together and confirm it runs cleanly in your Obsidian version before relying on it. ## Going forward, adding a page with no prefixes - Create the note in its folder with a clean name. No number, no dash. - Site: open the nav dialog, drag the new note to its spot once. - App: if you are running the sort plugin, drop it into place there too, or let the folder rule handle it. - You never renumber neighbors again. ## If something looks wrong - The whole rename is a single commit, `4d9dbb5`. It reverts cleanly in one step. Say the word and I will revert it.
