[FR] overwrite updated highlights #34

Sometimes I add tags, edit highlights, edit doc metadata, edit template, etc on readwise and it does not update on obsidian so I regularly have to delete all my obsidian highlights and resync which takes a while (>1200 highlights)

Desired usage:

checkbox in settings "overwrite on update" or something like that, just overwrite old highlights

Thanks ❤️

Hey @louis030195 -- there's actually already a way to do this, at least on the per-note level. From inside of obsidian, open the note you want to refresh and do the "delete and reimport" command:

But it sounds like you might want a setting to always do this on all updates?

Yes :) I am aware of the single note command, but it's not scalable
