Publishing notes
I am receiving a hash error when trying to publish a note.
Are you using a community plugin that edits the file's modified time upon update? If so, this plugin may be conflicting with Publish. Please issue a bug report to the plugin developer to resolve the issue.
I am receiving an odd network error, and I have a very large Publish site.
It is likely we need to examine your database. Please contact Obsidian support for assistance.

CSS and themes
My CSS in my Configuration folder does not work on Publish. Why?
Publish does not read from the configuration folder. Instead, you'll need to create a publish.css
file in the top-level directory of your publishing vault. You can learn more about this in Customize your site.
My CSS does not look the same on Publish as it does in the app. Why?
Obsidian Publish's CSS is not exactly the same as in the application. We recommend developing any CSS and themesspecifically for Publish from the ground up.
In general, what works for Reading view has a strong likelihood of working on Publish.
