To enable the Graph you need to install the plugin Metadata Extractor, you can install it via the build-in Community Plugin Browser
- Make sure to turn on the plugin
- In the settings, set the path of the metadata.json to your local vault root folder (like
C:\Users\John\MyNotes\metadata.json, when your vault is MyNotes). If you transfer your vault later to a webserver, make sure the metadata.json will be transferred too. - Also dont forget to set a timer how often the file should be written or just enable
